They leave Lahore after the Partition and most of them settle in the Mumbai film industry or Kolkata film industry. So that journey in the bazaar remains the same. They still have to dance and sing, but this time for the producers and not for the nawabs. So that’s the second season we are planning, let’s see where it goes.”

I keep telling them I’ve done some good karma to have had the chance to work with people like them. But the decision to do season two comes from them, not from me.”
