'Delhi Crime': Netflix orders multiple reshoots for Season 2 of Shefali Shah-starrer

The first season of Netflix's popular series, Delhi Crime, starring Shefali Shah as the lead protagonist, garnered much appreciation and views from the audience. The 7-episode series received maximum positive reviews from critics praising not only the script but also the premise and performance of the cast members. It is based on the 2012 Delhi gang-rape case that took place in the neighbourhood of Munirka, in South Delhi.

Delhi Crime was renewed for the second season with the main cast returning, but as per the recent development, Netflix has asked to make some major changes and ordered reshoots for Season 2.

Netflix orders multiple reshoots for Season 2 of 'Delhi Crime'

As per the report by BollywoodLife, the OTT giant is unhappy over the output it is receiving for the second season and it has repeatedly been ordering for massive portions of the show to be reshot which is one of the major reasons for the show's delayed-release. It's not the first time, but Netflix has ordered such a broad reshoot for the second time as it seems like the streaming service is not satisfied with what creative producer Rajesh Mapuskar and showrunner Tanuj Chopra are delivering.
