MUMBAI :In 2021, a show titled Potluck started streaming on Sony LIV. The show revolved around a crazy family and it starred Kitu Gidwani, Jatin Sial, Cyrus Sahukar, Ira Dubey, Harman Singha, Saloni Khanna, Shikha Talsania, and Siddhant Karnick. Now, season 2 of the series is all set to premiere on the OTT platform soon.
TellyChakkar recently interacted with Ira Dubey and spoke to her about Potluck season 2, the pressure of giving a better performance, and more...
How excited or nervous are you for Potluck season 2?
It’s super exciting and a bit nervous also because we all were sort of kept in the dark when the show will be out and we expected it to be out a little bit earlier. Many of us haven’t seen it, so it’s kind of nerve- wracking a little bit, but also very exciting. The first season people loved it and appreciated the show, so the fact that it’s coming back is such a wonderful thing, and I think we are all just grateful for that.
When season 1 of a show does very well, for season 2 is there a pressure as an actor to perform better?
I won’t say pressure as an actor but I would say that there’s a looming pressure that we have to connect to our skill. Very few Indian shows do get into a season 2 or 3. Irrespective of the genre whether it’s a Mirzapur or a Potluck, there’s a novelty in the first season. But, in the second season you know that there’s something else that’s going to make people watch and that’s the real test for it. Even in the west, a lot of second seasons of some brilliant shows tend to disappoint. So, more than the actors it’s for the producers and the creators who are making it that it works better. I think that we will come to know on 24th February and over the weekend we will know.
In Potluck, you have reunited with your Aisha team, director Rajshree Ojha and co-actor Cyrus Sahukar. So, when you shot for season 1 how was it to be back on the sets with them?
Right in the beginning it was extremely nostalgic. After Aisha, I feel everybody went quite their own ways, and Aisha was such an unexpected hit. I don’t think any of us knew at that time what it was going to become and then sort of life took over and we went in different directions. Rajshree was abroad for a long time and we didn’t know what else she would be directing. So, there was a lot to catch up on. But, it was wonderful to reconnect this way.
Potluck season 2 will premiere on 24th Feb 2023.
