Vadh 2 Trailer Out: Sanjay Mishra, Neena Gupta Return in a Dark, Morally Complex Thriller
The trailer of Vadh 2 is out, and it promises a gripping, morally layered thriller led by veteran actors Sanjay Mishra and Neena Gupta. Unveiled by Luv Films, the sequel is written and directed by Jaspal Singh Sandhu and follows the acclaimed 2022 film Vadh. The film is set to release in cinemas on February 6.
The trailer introduces Shambhunath Mishra (Sanjay Mishra), an ageing prison guard, and Manju Singh (Neena Gupta), an inmate whose bond with him forms the emotional core of the story. A tense sequence involving a vegetable cart leaving prison sets the tone, hinting at an escape and a larger mystery.
Kumud Mishra plays the jail superintendent, determined to uncover how a history-sheeter vanished from custody. Neena Gupta’s character is shown behind bars, while Sanjay Mishra appears willing to cross moral lines to secure her freedom.
The first Vadh (2022) was critically praised and found strong traction on OTT, building a loyal audience for the sequel.
Director Jaspal Singh Sandhu said, “Vadh 2 explores a morally complex world where truth is never straightforward.”
Producer Luv Ranjan added that the sequel retains the emotional depth of the original while telling a completely new story, led by powerful performances from senior actors.
Early reactions to the trailer praise its atmosphere, restraint, and performances.
Background of the Project
Vadh 2 stars Sanjay Mishra, Neena Gupta, Kumud Mishra, Shilpa Shukla, with new additions Amitt K Singh, Akshay Dogra, and Yogita Bihani. The franchise is known for prioritising character-driven storytelling over spectacle.
Vadh 2 releases theatrically on February 6, targeting audiences who enjoy intense, thought-provoking thrillers.
Our Final Thoughts
The Vadh 2 trailer suggests a sequel that builds on emotional weight rather than scale. Sanjay Mishra and Neena Gupta once again anchor the narrative with quiet intensity, while the prison setting adds layers of tension and moral ambiguity. At a time when thrillers often rely on shock value, Vadh 2 appears to focus on character, consequence, and ethical conflict. If the film delivers on the promise of its trailer, it could emerge as one of the more thoughtful Hindi thrillers of the year.
