Disney+ Hotstar and Applause Entertainment show, and Nagesh Kukunoor have once afgain returned with the second season of politicial thriller, City of Dreams. The trailer shows how Poornima (Priya) and Ameya (Atul) get into a head-on collision as they wrestle over power. The fight gets murky as we see back-stabbing, double-crossing and bloodshed in great detail.

"I am proud to be essaying such a strong female role who drives the narrative of the show, shatters stereotypes, and fights against all odds to strive in a male-dominated world," Priya said in a statement.
Atul said the character of Ameya Rao Gaikwad is special to him and he is thrilled the audience will get to see more of him in the sophomore season. Director Nagesh Kukunoor now in the US feels, “It was overwhelming to see the appreciation that City of Dreams Season 1 received, and how viewers got invested in the life of the characters. As the story of the political power battle in the Gaikwad family goes forward, I hope that we can live up to the audience's expectations! It’s going to get murkier and personal, and the fight for power is going to destroy many households.” Sameer Nair CEO of Applause Entertainment says, “Covid and lockdown related issues delayed production but we are super excited to present Season 2 of our favourite political drama ‘City Of Dreams’. The stakes are higher this season as Daughter is pitted against Father in a fight to the finish. With many new characters, twists and turns, Nagesh brings alive the world of the Gaikwads with his signature storytelling style.” City Of Dreams Season 2 starts streaming on Disney+ Hotstar from July 30.
