Neeraj Pandey on Special Ops 2: A Unique Benchmark
Special Ops 2, the new season of a popular thriller series, is out after a long wait.
The director, Neeraj Pandey, explained that the release was held up by some business moves.
The show was filmed in several countries, which was a lot of work.
The main actor, Kay Kay Menon, worked with another director for some scenes due to how the filming was scheduled.
When asked about comparisons to other action shows, the director said he wants his show to be unique and stand on its own.
People can have their own opinions about the show, but the goal is for Special Ops to be a benchmark.
Special Ops 2, directed by Neeraj Pandey, has become popular after a four-year gap.
The release of Special Ops 2 was delayed due to the Jio merger and the IPL.
The series was filmed in multiple countries including Hungary, Turkey, and Georgia, which created logistical challenges.
Kay Kay Menon, the star of the franchise, worked primarily with co-director Shivam Nair due to scheduling conflicts.
Pandey stated Special Ops aims to be a benchmark and not emulate other franchises, in response to Bond-Bourne comparisons.
