Special Ops Season 2 OTT release date: When and where to watch Kay Kay Menon's thriller series
About Special Ops 2
The wait is almost over. Brace yourself for another high-octane ride as Special Ops 2, the highly-anticipated espionage thriller, is set to drop all its explosive episodes on July 18—a week later than originally announced. But the delay only heightens the anticipation. Kay Kay Menon , the steely-eyed RAW officer Himmat Singh, is back, and this time, the enemy is as invisible as it is dangerous: cyberterrorism.Directed by Neeraj Pandey and Shivam Nair, Special Ops 2 brings back the gritty realism and cerebral edge that made the original a breakout success in 2020. The new season will see Himmat Singh and his elite team race against the clock to tackle a threat that's silent, sophisticated, and sinister.Alongside Menon, the returning cast includes Meher Vij, Vinay Pathak, Muzammil Ibrahim, Karan Tacker, and Saiyami Kher—each reprising their roles as trusted operatives in Himmat's shadow unit. Adding more intrigue to the lineup are veteran actors like Prakash Raj, Gautami Kapoor, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Parmeet Sethi, and Kali Prasad Mukherjee, who promise to add new layers of mystery and momentum to the narrative.For those unfamiliar, Special Ops first debuted on March 17, 2020, on Hotstar Specials. Created by Neeraj Pandey, the series earned widespread acclaim for blending realism with edge-of-your-seat action. It picked up three wins from eight Filmfare OTT nominations and established itself as a cornerstone of Indian digital thrillers. The universe expanded with Special Ops 1.5: The Himmat Story in 2021, a prequel that gave us a deeper look into the making of the man behind the mission.And now, Special Ops 2 is set to raise the stakes once again—this time by diving deep into the murky world of cyberwarfare. Expect high-stakes surveillance, tech-driven threats, and covert global operations that blur the line between duty and destruction.Kay Kay Menon recently took to social media to announce the revised release date, confirming that the entire season will drop in one go. That's right: no cliffhangers, no week-to-week waiting—just a full-throttle binge-worthy experience.

Actor Vishal Jethwa has broken his silence on the backlash he and actress Janhvi Kapoor received for reportedly ignoring Ishaan Khatter during an interview about their global premiere of the film 'Homebound' at the Cannes Film Festival 2025. Vishal Jethwa is one of the emerging stars of Indian who got his breakthrough with his negative role in RMukerji's 'Mardaani 2', released in 2019. Though this film became a domestic hit, the global fame for the actor was yet to come, as his performance was reportedly overshadowed by superstar Rani Mukerji's powerful portrayal of a cop. Neeraj Ghaywan 's 'Homebound' served as the perfect platform for the actor to showcase his work on global platforms after it was nominated in the Un Certain Regard award category at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. Along with him, the movie also starred Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter in the lead roles. With fame, the 'Mardaani 2' actor also came under the radar of controversy when he was seen talking to co-star Janhvi Kapoor while sitting next to Ishaan Khatter, who was giving an interview to a journalist about the 'Homebound' nomination at Cannes 2025. It led to several media reports stating that the Vishal allegedly ignored Ishaan during the Cannes premiere. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Write Better, Work Smarter With This Desktop App Grammarly Install Now Undo The actor has now opened up about the viral video and clarified that he harbours no ill feelings towards his co-star, Ishaan Khatter. While talking to ANI, Vishal Jethwa cleared the air around the reports of a tiff between him and his 'Homebound' co-star Ishaan Khatter. When asked about the possible tension between him and Ishaan, the actor disagreed with such rumours. He went on to praise his co-star's dedication to work and cinema, saying that he "looks up to him" and is "inspired" by his commitment to the craft. "There is nothing like this. I never thought ill of him (Ishaan). We are good well-wishers of each other, and I look up to Ishaan. I learn a lot from him, and I was inspired by his work after watching it. In fact, when we completed the film, I wondered how Ishaan remained dedicated to his craft. I learnt a lot from him," said Vishal Jethwa. While addressing the rumours, the 'Mardaani 2' actor said that he doesn't believe in competition because, according to him, it is a "never-ending game." "I am not competitive in real life. It's not a good feeling to constantly ponder how I can pass others or how I can beat them. It's a never-ending game," said Vishal Jethwa. As for his future plans, the actor wants to "sustain" his current position in Bollywood and just wishes to "move forward" with good films. "I have held a very satisfactory position for many years. I am very content. I am so proud of myself. I just hope that I can sustain my current position. I want to move forward. I will move forward a lot," concluded Jethwa.

'Homebound' also received a nine-minute-long standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival 2025. Vishal Jethwa described the breakout success of 'Homebound' and receiving global fame as one of the "rare opportunities" in an actor's life. "I just hope that whatever things are coming in front of me, I should enjoy it as much as possible and experience it as much as possible. Because this is happening for the first time in my life, and such an opportunity doesn't come every time," said Vishal Jethwa. 'Homebound' revolves around two childhood friends from a small North Indian village who chase a police job that promises them the dignity they've long been denied. But as they inch closer to their dream, mounting desperation threatens the bond that holds them together, as Variety describes it. Director Neeraj Ghaywan described 'Homebound' as "a deeply personal story about friendship, dignity, and survival." "It's about people who are often unseen, and the quiet strength they carry in a world that rarely pauses for them," said the director, adding that he hopes the film "helps us look closer--with empathy--and see what we've been conditioned to ignore." Legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese serves as an executive producer on the film.
