Produced by Friday Storytellers and created by Neeraj Pandey, Special Ops 2 picks up with Kay Kay Menon reprising his iconic role as R&AW officer Himmat Singh — a character known for his steely resolve, quiet grit, and unmatched intelligence. This time, the threat landscape has changed. Set against a volatile global backdrop, the series explores a new form of warfare — one that plays out in the shadows of the digital realm. Cyber breaches, data warfare, and coordinated virtual attacks take centre stage as Himmat and his elite team navigate an invisible battlefield where the enemy is everywhere and nowhere at once.

“Himmat Singh has never been your typical hero; he doesn’t chase glory, he carries burdens. This time, the battles are quieter but more dangerous, and the cost of every decision feels heavier. As an actor, it’s rare to find a character who challenges you this deeply, not just in performance, but in spirit. I hope audiences feel the weight and the heart we’ve poured into this season,” said Kay Kay Menon.

Directed by Shivam Nair, Special Ops 2 features a power-packed cast including Prakash Raj, Vinay Pathak, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Karan Tacker, Saiyami Kher, Muzammil Ibrahim, Gautami Kapoor, Parmeet Sethi, and Kali Prasad Mukherjee, among others.

With war being waged through screens instead of guns, and danger lurking behind firewalls instead of borders, Special Ops 2 promises a nail-biting ride into the high-stakes world of covert intelligence. Catch the action unfold starting July 18, only on JioHotstar.
