Kay Kay Menon Returns in Special Ops 2: Cyber Warfare Takes Espionage to the Next Level
Set to premiere on July 11, 2025, on JioHotstar, the adrenaline-fueled sequel pits Himmat Singh and his team against an invisible cyber-terrorism threat in global locations like Budapest, Turkey, and Georgia.
India’s favorite spy thriller is back. Special Ops 2, the follow-up to the 2020 hit and its 2021 prequel (Special Ops 1.5: The Himmat Story), is set to stream exclusively on JioHotstar starting July 11, 2025
The newly released trailer centers on RAW agent Himmat Singh (Kay Kay Menon), who reunites with familiar faces like Karan Tacker, Vinay Pathak, Muzammil Ibrahim, Saiyami Kher, and Meher Vij. This season introduces heavyweights Tahir Raj Bhasin (as the new cyber-focused antagonist) and Prakash Raj in a pivotal role.
What sets this installment apart is its focus on cyber-terrorism and AI-driven threats, set against a backdrop where India’s massive UPI infrastructure becomes a potential target. In the trailer, Himmat ominously declares:
“Now, the country that wins the cyber war will win it all.” \
Filmed across Budapest, Turkey, and Georgia, this sequel promises a far more global canvas and visually striking action sequences. Director Shivam Nair emphasizes that while the physical battle has evolved into a digital battlefield, the emotional stakes remain intensely human
The original Special Ops earned critical acclaim and multiple Filmfare OTT Awards—Kay Kay Menon even bagged Best Actor—cementing the franchise’s success. With the sequel raising both technological and storytelling stakes, fans are eagerly anticipating the drop of all episodes in one go.
