Of course you remember Ganesh Gaitonde and Sartaj from Sacred Games. Well, the duo is now back with their fresh-from-the-oven looks for the second installment of the Netlix series.
Netflix India shared what the characters will look like in the much-awaited season.
"Pichli baar kya bola tha Ganesh bhai ko? Aukaaat," read the caption for Nawazuddin Siddiqui's photo.

The poster shows the lead actor in a never-seen-before avatar, decked up in a suit, much unlike his character from crime-thriller. It's safe to say that Nawazuddin looks his intriguing best in the poster. It hints at the actor's rise in the second season as the show follows his story after he died in the first season.
Saif Ali Khan as Sartaj looks every bit the tough cop he played in the first season, his hand bandaged just like he was seen in the last episode. "Agar Sartaj ko system badalna hai, toh khel toh khelna hi padega," the caption for his look read.
