Sharon Levi, managing director of yes Studios says: “We are thrilled that our relationship with Applause Entertainment will continue and are excited that this extension to the format deal will ensure a return for Tanaav.

It was very important for us to work with the right partner, one that could deftly cover differing perspectives in a highly complex situation and create interesting and relevant characters anchored in its own unique local setting and circumstances. The Applause Entertainment team did all this brilliantly, and we can’t wait to see what they have planned for season two.”

Sameer Nair, managing director, Applause Entertainment adds: “We’re honoured to extend our partnership with yes Studios after the resounding success of Tanaav Season One. The teams at Applause and Sony LIV are pumped as we set out to craft an even more gripping tale for our audience with a season two. Stay tuned for an extraordinary tale of courage, conflict, and camaraderie as we embark on this exciting new adventure.”

During one such conversation, Waluscha De Sousa who is seen in a never seen before #avatar in Tanaav will share the reason why she decided to be a part of the #webseries.

The stunning actress, Waluscha De Souza will share, “I wanted to work in this series as I got to play a simple Kashmiri Muslim woman, very different character from what I have done before. Everybody had a different perception about me that I don’t speak Hindi and I am an NRI whereas the truth is I’m born and brought up in Goa.”

Furthermore, a curious Kapil Sharma will ask Walucha that her name resembles someone who speaks French. Responding to this, Waluscha will go on to share her lingual knowledge saying, “I don’t speak French but can speak Konkani, Portuguese and German.” Listening to this Arbaaz will be seen giving a funny comeback saying Walucha speaks a lot.

Not only this but director Sudhir Mishra will be seen showering praises on the actor and saying, “She is too hard working. When we casted Walucha, she was perfect according to the look and the costume and was looking just like a Kashmiri Muslim girl. But the way she worked on her accent is commendable.”

Tune in to The Kapil Sharma Show every Saturday and Sunday at 9:30 pm on Sony Entertainment Television.
