Asur Season 3 Confirmed; Barun Sobti Says Script Is Ready
Last Updated:
Barun Sobti confirms Asur 3 is happening and reveals the script is complete. He also reflects on how the show transformed his image from TV heartthrob to serious actor.
Barun Sobti is one of the rare television actors who has successfully transitioned into the world of OTT and cinema, steadily carving out a distinct identity for himself. From the charm of Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? to the realism of Tu Hai Mera Sunday, and from the gritty tension of Halahal to the gripping psychological thrillers Asur and Kohrra, Sobti has proven his versatility time and again. Now, in an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla for their Behind The Success segment, the actor opened up about the lasting impact of Asur and shared a much-awaited update on its third season.
Barun revealed that the writing for Asur 3 is now complete, though filming hasn't begun yet. 'It will take some time before we begin shooting," he said, assuring fans that the next season is very much happening. The update is sure to excite the show's massive fanbase, who have been eagerly waiting to see where the story leads after the cliffhanger of Season 2.
Reflecting on his journey, Barun shared how Asur became a turning point in his career, transforming the public's perception of him. 'People started seeing me as a serious actor after Asur," he admitted. He went on to praise the show's sharp writing, calling it 'terrific," and recalled his initial reaction upon being offered the role. 'When I first read the script, I genuinely wondered why they were casting me. It was so well-written. I told them, 'Sir, why are you taking me?'" he laughed.
With his characteristic humility, Sobti further joked that if someone were to argue with him about whether he deserved the part, he'd probably lose the debate—clarifying that he meant in terms of casting, not performance. 'I just got lucky," he concluded.
For those unfamiliar, Asur has earned a reputation as one of India's most compelling web series, blending mythology, psychology, and crime with razor-sharp storytelling. Directed by Oni Sen, the show stars Arshad Warsi and Barun Sobti, alongside an ensemble that includes Vishesh Bansal, Gaurav Arora, Anupriya Goenka, Ridhi Dogra, Amey Wagh, Sharib Hashmi, Meiyang Chang, and Abhishek Chauhan.
With Season 3 in development, Asur promises to push boundaries yet again—and Barun Sobti is right at the heart of it.

Palak Tiwari's father Raja Chaudhary comments on her alleged relationship with Ibrahim Ali Khan: 'Maturity hai hi nahi logon mein'
Palak Tiwari is among the young talents who have just started their bollywood journey. The actress often makes headlines for her rumored romantic relationship with Ibrahim Ali Khan. Neither of them ever confirmed or denied the same. Meanwhile, Palak's father and actor Raja Chaudhary talked about her dating life and showed his unwillingness. In a recent interview with Hindi Rush, Raja Chaudhary spoke about his life, divorce from Shweta Tiwari (Palak Tiwari's mother), and a lot more. The actor, who predominantly worked in Bhojpuri cinema and in Hindi TV serials, was asked whether he is in touch with his daughter Palak. Responding to the same, the actor said, 'Haan baat hoti hai, through Social media.' Further, he mentioned that he keeps writing letters to her, but since she is making her career, she always says that she is too busy and doesn't even meet her mother. Raja Chaudhary reacts to Palak Tiwari's dating rumors Raja Chaudhary, then, conveyed his unwillingness regarding Palak 's dating rumors. He said, 'Agar mujhe mauka mile samjhane ka toh main to yahi kahunga ki bhai inn chakkaro se door rahe aur apne career par focus kar, wohi ek cheez hai, ultimately tere kaam aane wali hai tere. (If I get a chance, I would say, stay away from these things and focus on your career, that is the only thing that will ultimately be useful to you.)' He went on to add that, '30-35 saal se pahle relationship karna hi nahi chahiye, mujhe lagta hai sab immature rahte hai. Maturity hai hi nahi logon me bss bachpane me shadi kar lete hai log and that turns out to be a big blunder. Phir rote raho, koshte raho ek dusre ko.' (One should not have a relationship before 30-35 years, I feel that everyone is immature. People do not have maturity, they just get married in childhood and that turns out to be a big blunder. Then keep crying, keep blaming each other.) Palak Tiwari has lived with her mother, Shweta Tiwari, ever since their parents parted ways. Reportedly, Raja and Shweta were married in 1998. Nine years after marriage, Shweta filed for a divorce in 2007, which was eventually granted in 2012. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

F1 India Box Office: Brad Pitt starrer amazes with a 40 percent growth on Saturday; Nets Rs 12.50 crore in 2 days and set to emerge a HIT
Joseph Krasinski's F1 starring Brad Pitt, Kerry Condon and others, showed a stiff 40 percent growth on its second day at the box office after a superb first day of Rs 5.25 crore. With Rs 7.25 crore net on day 2, the total of F1 stands at Rs 12.50 crore and by the end of the weekend, it should be Rs 20 crore net. The Day Wise Net India Collections Of F1 Are As Under F1 Stands At Rs 12.50 Crore Net After 2 Days In India F1 got a start and the strong word around the film should help it trend well in India, despite competition. The fact that it retains IMAX screens in week 2 as well shall ensure remarkable numbers even when Jurassic World Rebirth hits theatres next week. Final collections in the range of the superhit Final Destination: Bloodlines can't be ruled out strictly by the kind of acceptance that it enjoys. That would also make F1 among the highest grossing original (not part of any IP) movies in the country. F1 Crushes Pre-Release Predictions Rather Comfortably The global numbers of F1 through Friday have come and they are around USD 64.50 million. A global weekend pushing to USD 150 million is what is expected now. The opening weekend projections prior to the release were around USD 100 million and they shall be crushed rather comfortably, now. The movie's high budget won't be easy to recover theatrically. But if F1 manages to cross USD 500 million globally by the end of its run, it will be seen as a good result if not great; especially given the pessimism in the trade because its release is right before giants like Jurassic World Rebirth and Superman. F1's Numbers Show That Brad Pitt Still Has The Ability To Pull Audiences To Theatres With F1, Brad Pitt has shown that he still has it in him as far as getting people to theatres is considered. The next movie the actor works on is a Netflix original. His next theatrical venture is waited for with bated breath. F1 plays in theatres now. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates on F1 and Brad Pitt.
