Even before the opening season of Suzhal: The Vortex was shot, creator duo Pushkar-Gayatri had begun writing its second instalment in 2020. But after the Tamil crime thriller premièred to glowing reviews on Prime Video in 2022, the creators started from scratch again. Their intention was simple—to give the audience a bigger story. “That was a different story, set against a different festival. But when we received love for the first season, we felt we needed to give the audience something more. We went back to the drawing board and re-wrote a lot. This looks bigger and better than season one,” smiles Gayatri.
