A lot has changed in digital entertainment in the two years since Inside Edge dropped online, marking India's first homegrown original for Amazon Prime Video. With bigger players joining the fray and projects being mounted on lavish budgets, the web space has continually evolved. As the countdown for the second season of Inside Edge begins, Richa Chadha believes the show will continue to enjoy the first mover advantage. "Developing the second season took time, but it was for the better. The makers went back to the drawing board and tried to enhance everything. It's mounted magnificently; we shot abroad as well," begins Chadha, who plays Zarina Malik, the owner of a cricket team in the sports drama that also stars Vivek Oberoi and Angad Bedi.
From its first episode, the Karan Anshuman-creation made its intentions clear — the series wanted to delve into the underbelly of the cricketing world and the power play that is at work off the pitch. Chadha's character Zarina — as mysterious as she was manipulative — was at the centre of the drama. Quiz her how her character has evolved in the second season, and Chadha says, "Zarina felt screwed over by powerful men, so she no longer wants to be a puppet or dummy. She wears her confidence proudly, and has her career under control. I had to change my body language for this season. With Bhaisaab's [Aamir Bashir's character] support, she feels protected now. Even in our field, when actors belong to a certain camp, people are wary of taking them on."
