ZEE5 and Goldie Bahl’s ‘REJCTX’ ready with second season
Goldie Behl, Producer and Director, REJCTX 1 & 2 said, “It was certainly a challenge as it was exciting to cast all new faces, but the kids performed extremely well in the first season and then they have outdone themselves in the second season of the show as well. Everyone has built a great bond while working on the sets and it almost feels like family to be working with them. The second season of REJCTX is really good and we are hoping everyone loves it as much and more than the first season.” REJCTX’s season 2 premieres on ZEE5. Here’s some lowdown on REJCTX’s characters.
REJCTX is a teen-drama thriller and a coming of age story that revolves around the lives of seven Indian students studying in The Jefferson World School. These privileged kids are thrust into the exclusive world of the rich, right where they belong. But eventually, they find themselves at the disposal of their own insecurities. REJCTX is an expression of that restlessness by a bunch of misfits and rebels. Will the youngsters reunite and fulfil their dreams, or will they be thwarted by a new enemy, in the second season?
Misfit No 1: Aarav Sharma : The lead, Masi Wali who played the character of ‘Aarav Sharma’, a rich brat, was seen obsessing over one of his teachers and things take turn for the worst when he goes missing. Misfit No 2: Kiara Tiwary : Anisha Victor plays the role of ‘Kiara Tiwary’ whose biggest fight is with her inner saboteur telling her she is either not pretty enough or lacks the confidence to be on the top. But in season 2, we will see a new avatar of Kiara pushing that inner voice and taking the new year at school by storm. Misfit No 3: Maddy : Ayush Khurana essays the role of ‘Maddy’, who is hiding his identity and living with a humiliating secret. The question is, will he be able to accept himself? Misfit No 4: Sehmat Ali : Saadhika Syal plays the character of ‘Sehmat Ali’, who wants to be known as more than just a girl in a hijab. She is the most rebellious amongst the lot and was also seen exploring her sexuality with Misha. But will she unfold that scarf to reveal her true identity? Misfit No 5: Parnomitra Rai : Ridhi Khakhar who plays ‘Parnomitra Rai comes across as a typical teenager who has built a wall around her and if anyone tries to cross that, Ridhi can be their biggest nightmare. But in Season 2, we could get to see her softer side. She also falls in love with one of her classmates. Can you guess who? Misfit No 6: Misha Patel : She is bubbly, chirpy and extremely innocent. But her innocence is her biggest weakness when she faces the kids of Jefferson World School. Pooja Shetty playing ‘Misha Patel’ could just be the highlight of Season 2. Wait for it! Misfit No 7: Harry Sandhu : Prabhneet Singh plays a flamboyant character of ‘Harry Sandhu’ who is witty and humorous but is always called a ‘failure’ because of his low confidence and is often mocked by his classmates. Will that change in Season 2? There’s only one way to find out!
Season 2 of REJCTX will see a whole new side to these characters with the addition of Tanvi Shinde (‘Yesha’) who will be the new entry to this group of talented kids. While the first had Sumeet Vyas and Kubbra Sait, season two will have Esha Gupta who is making her digital debut, where she plays the character of Police Officer Rene. Sumeet Vyas (Farhan Hussain) will play the role of the Vice President of the school just like season one. The makers of the show released the teaser of season 2 recently, which gives us a glimpse of the ‘privileged rich kids of the Jefferson World School’ from Esha’s viewpoint.
The new season of REJCTX 2 has more excitement coming your way and it will be streaming soon on ZEE5.
