From moving in with her boyfriend Danny to getting the job opportunity of her dreams – Rivanah Banerjee’s life seems to have taken a turn for the better after being relentlessly stalked by Stranger and almost getting killed.
But little did she know that she would be sucked into yet another vortex by the Stranger. Mini must follow the Stranger’s order and enlist herself to play the dangerous game of Dare Defy on the dark web – or face dire consequences. As things begin to unfold and rapidly spiral out of control for Mini, she becomes a key suspect in a murder investigation because she participates in this illegal game. Will Mini be able to beat Stranger and his game is what the fast-paced series will follow.
Talking about the second season, Anuja Joshi said, “Psychological thrillers are a genre that revolves around complex relationships between obsessive and pathological characters and the stranger continues to petrify Mini in Season 2 as well. Hello Mini 1 received a lot of love from viewers, in fact – I’ve constantly been asked when the second edition would release and I am excited that it’s here now.”
Speaking about her character, she added,“It’s rare to find a role that you constantly learn from and want to grow with. For me, Mini and I have grown together and it’s her bravery and undaunted attitude that keeps me wanting more of her. This edition will see her entrapped in a dangerous game, stuck in a maze of questions and unimaginable dares that will determine whether she can stay alive. ”
Mrinal Dutt who plays the role of ‘Danny’ in the show, “I am looking forward to how the audience will react to this season. There’s drama, entertainment, some nail-biting moments, and the classic mystery of who the Stranger is that promises to keep the audience wanting to see more.”
