What does the new season offer?
The second season of the award-winning series is set against the backdrop of the annual Ashtakaali festival held in the fictional village of Kaalipattanam in Tamil Nadu, where the brutal murder of a veteran activist lawyer and social worker, Chellappa (Lal), shakes the entire village to its core and casts a dark shadow reaching far beyond the village and its people. As Sakkarai (Kathir) is tasked with solving the mysterious and unsettling crime, the ghosts of Nandini’s (Aishwarya) past continue to haunt her as she stares at an uncertain future in prison. The investigation takes both of them spiraling down a maze of deceit, secrecy, crime, conspiracy, and deaths that gets more entangled when 8 young women, unconnected to each other become the primary suspects in the murder. To solve the case and get to the truth, Sakkarai will have to navigate conspicuous motives, personal vendettas, and deeds of the past before he is consumed by the darkness of the gruesome crime.
"After the phenomenal response to the first season of Suzhal—The Vortex, we set a high bar for ourselves to ensure the audience finds the second season even more captivating," said directors Bramma and Sarjun KM. "Pushkar and Gayatri have crafted an even more engrossing narrative, which we meticulously and creatively directed to bring to life. As Kathir and Aishwarya deliver yet another spellbinding performance, along with the stellar ensemble cast, our task as directors became much easier. We can’t wait for the audience to immerse themselves in the world of Suzhal—The Vortex once again and are confident they will find season two incredibly compelling."
"I am thrilled to reprise my role as Sub-Inspector Sakkarai in the second season of Suzhal—The Vortex, a groundbreaking series that pushed the envelope in Tamil storytelling, putting our industry on the global map, and winning national accolades. Pushkar and Gayatri are true visionaries who have crafted yet another gripping and entertaining narrative for season two. The overwhelming response from both audiences and critics to my performance and the first season was truly humbling, and I am hopeful that everyone will appreciate the second season just as much or more,” said Kathir.
Aishwarya Rajesh, who plays Nandini, said, “Suzhal—The Vortex will always be one of my most rewarding and memorable projects, and I still feel overwhelmed by the love and appreciation I received for my performance in the first season of the series.”
“Playing Nandini was a complete rollercoaster, as she went from searching for her younger sister to reliving her suppressed memories and then avenging the heinous crime committed against herself and her sister. And in season two, she isn’t free of the nightmares, as she finds herself in the middle of another unfathomable murder mystery. If season one was exciting, season two will be even more unpredictable for the audience, and I can’t wait for them to watch it when it premieres on Prime Video in over 240 countries and territories worldwide,” she added.
