Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 1 : Director Umesh Bist discussed his series 'The Trial 2' and how the second season differs from the previous one. He also praised Bollywood star Kajol for her performance as Noyonika Sengupta, a lawyer in the show.
Speaking to ANI, he said, "There is a difference with similarity. When it comes to similarity, we take our characters and their stories, established in the first season, to the next level. So, this is a similarity. The difference is that in the first season, there was a whole journey of characters. Now, this same journey moves ahead."
He continued how Kajol's character in the series has transformed in the new season, saying, "For example, Kajol played the character of Noyonika very well. Her character has undergone a significant transformation. So, when you meet her in season 2, she is a very strong and confident lawyer. Unlike season 1, where she was just about starting. So, she was a novice in Season 1, but now she has understood the system and how to handle it. So, she already starts as a strong character. But, in comparison to season 1, the complications in relationships and the complexities become more serious. So, this is the difference. And another interesting thing is that the legal cases that we have taken this time are very interesting... And, I am sure that it will hook the viewers.."
Meanwhile, the makers of Kajol starrer web series 'The Trial' released the trailer of its second season in August. Kajol, who essays the role of Noyonika Sengupta, a lawyer in the series, is back to tackle new cases and manage a detoriating marital relationship with her husband, Rajiv Sengupta, played by Jisshu Sengupta, after he was arrested for corruption and sex scandal in the first season.

It was followed by their arguments, which led to Kajol asking for a divorce. It was followed by Kajol's powerful portrayal of a lawyer as she takes on new cases.
While praising Kajol for her portrayal of a strong character, the ace director added, "Kajol is a completely director's actor. She trusts the director a lot, and if an actor like Kajol trusts you so much, aapki responsibility aur badh jaati hai...She is quite a good magician, I would say"
