Suniel Shetty Praises Jackie Shroff’s Aura and Brilliance in ‘Hunter S2’: “His Presence Is Unmatched”
In the much-anticipated second season of Hunter, veteran actor Suniel Shetty has gone head-to-head with another legend of Indian cinema — Jackie Shroff. Shetty, who plays the lead role of Vikram Sinha, has opened up about his deep admiration for Jackie and the challenges of sharing screen space with someone he has long admired.
“Dada is a brilliant natural actor, with a great voice, aura, and presence that’s unmatched,” said Suniel Shetty while reflecting on their on-screen collaboration. “It takes a lot to stand up to him, even if it’s on screen. But I believe, when you work with the best, you deliver your best.”
Shetty admitted it was difficult to detach from the personal rapport he shares with Jackie. “So many people have hero-worshipped Jaggu Dada, and I’ve admired him for years too,” he said. “Personally, it was tough for me to go head-to-head with him in action scenes. But I had to block out the personal rapport and focus on our characters in the show.”
Hunter Season 2: A Battle of Legends
Hunter Season 2, currently streaming on Amazon MX, sees Suniel Shetty reprise his role as Vikram Sinha, a suspended special investigations officer. This time, he’s on a high-octane mission to rescue his kidnapped daughter from the clutches of a shadowy arms dealer known only as The Salesman, played by Jackie Shroff.
The face-off between Vikram and The Salesman adds intensity to the already gripping storyline. With gritty action, emotional drama, and powerhouse performances, the second season has raised the stakes significantly.
A Deeper Vikram Sinha: Suniel’s Evolved Performance
In an exclusive conversation with IANS, Suniel Shetty shared insights into the transformation of his character. “I am very different in this season. The body language is different. The look is different. The emotions are different,” he said.
Describing Vikram’s new motivations, he added, “Carefree and careless, Vikram Sinha was in the first season. Here, it is more about family. And that is his only objective. There is no disturbance, no other distraction in his life. He wants his daughter back and at any cost. He will go to any lengths to get that happening. That itself is a beautiful moment.”
Star-Studded Cast Adds More Firepower
Alongside Shetty and Shroff, Hunter S2 boasts a stellar ensemble cast including Anusha Dandekar, Barkha Bisht, Anang Desai, Pramod Pathak, and Mazel Vyas. Each actor brings a unique dynamic to the show, enhancing its emotional and narrative depth.
While the first season had already established the character of Vikram Sinha as a fan favorite, the second installment pushes his story into more personal and emotionally driven territory.
