Mumbai, July 6 (NationPress) Director Shivam Nair, who is eagerly anticipating the release of the next season of the acclaimed streaming series ‘Special Ops’, has commended the lead actor Kay Kay Menon for his exceptional talent and his adeptness at managing multiple narratives.
In a recent conversation with IANS, Shivam revealed insights into the formation of the new season, which incorporates themes of cyber warfare. He emphasized that much of the success of the season is attributed to the actor’s contributions.
Shivam remarked to IANS, “Before delving into the intricate plot, our initial focus was on Himmat Singh's (played by Kay Kay Menon) personal journey, along with those of other characters. We carefully constructed that foundation first. Kay Kay had already suggested to Neeraj Pandey (the creator) that we explore a narrative centered around cyber warfare. We gathered extensive information from various sources, which helped shape the broader storyline.”
He noted that in this upcoming season, Himmat displays a greater level of maturity.
“It appears that wisdom has been bestowed upon him. He navigates three distinct narratives with remarkable finesse, engaging with technicians and executing his role beautifully. There’s no doubt about the depth of his character,” he added.
The new season tackles the pressing issue of cyber warfare. Previously, Kay Kay Menon, who plays Himmat Singh in ‘Special Ops’, mentioned that his character has remained consistent over the past five years.
Regarding his character, he explained to IANS, “I believe Himmat Singh has not fundamentally changed. He continues to be the same Himmat Singh. However, the challenges he encounters have evolved. So, in that context, while the situations differ, Himmat Singh will always operate as he does.”
‘Special Ops 2’ is scheduled to premiere on JioHotstar starting July 11, 2025.
