Comedian-actor Bhuvan Bam is set to return as Vasant Gawde in Season 2 of the Disney+ Hotstar comedy-drama series Taaza Khabar, the streaming platform announced on Friday alongside a short teaser.
The teaser shows Vasant staring at his phone reading the “Taaza Khabar” about his own murder. The sanitation worker-turned-businessman appears to fall victim to the boon of being able to predict the future in the 40-second-long video.
The teaser goes on to show his friends and family mourning his death over his burning pyre. Bhuvan’s voiceover talks about life being strange and how sometimes life starts from death. The teaser then cuts to the announcement of the show’s second season. However, the date of the season’s premiere is yet to be released.
Created by Abbas and Hussain Dalal, Taaza Khabar gained popularity in 2023 with the comedic yet intense rags-to-riches storyline. The Himank Gaur-directed six-episode series shows how Vasant’s blessing of seeing the future is a double-edged sword, with Season 2 promising to further push the main character towards doom.
Over the years, Bhuvan gained popularity as a social media content creator under the name BB Ki Vines. Taaza Khabar in 2023 marked his acting debut. He is also the Hindi-language commentator for the latest reboot of the Japanese game show Takeshi’s Castle.
