About Illegal 2 

Talking about the trailer, the short clip provides a glimpse into the battles to be fought by Niharika Singh, played by Neha Sharma, in the court as well as outside it. This season, Niharika will not only have to face off the obvious enemies posing a threat to her career but also the hidden villains with ill intentions masked as allies. The trailer also showed the intense showdown of Niharika Singh with her former mentor-turned-arch rival Janardhan Jaitley, played by seasoned actor Piyush Sharma.

Eyeing the post of Chief Minister, Jaitley is set to leave no stone unturned when it comes to clearing his path to power with any means necessary. The biggest threat that the veteran lawyer will face is the young Niharika Singh who is deadset on establishing her own law firm. He is seen, in the trailer, plotting to make her powerless. 

The previous season touched upon the topics like sexual harassment and the death penalty and received critical acclaim for its execution. This season promises to dive deeper into the dirty politics of power and money and the tangles world of law and big businesses.
