The actress and the directors also received flak for the portrayal of Sri Lankan Tamils on the show. The actor even confessed the difficulties she faced while portraying the role for the series. Her post read, "Before every serious shot, this was what always happened. Big laughs. Not sure if you were really helping with my performance. But you are so good for the soul Raj. One of the nicest human beings I have had the pleasure of knowing. Lots of love to you. Wishing you all the success and lots and lots of happiness. It's only onwards and upwards for you as has been foretold @rajanddk (sic).".

The story of the second installment traces the life of Srikant Tiwari (Manoj Bajpayee) who has quit his job at the TASC to spend time with his family and joined a start-up venture to live life as a normal human being. However, he returns to work after learning about the new enemy. Raji (Samantha) plays a member of a rebel force in Sri Lanka, who has planned an attack in Chennai. The series consists of an ensemble star cast including, Priya Mai, Devadarshini, Sharib Hashmi, and Uday Mahesh in important roles.
