Abhishek Bachchan’s streaming era continues with the new season of the crime drama thriller series Breathe Into The Shadows. The makers of the series released the official trailer earlier today (October 27) which sees Abhishek returns as Dr. Avinash Sabharwal and the mysterious killer J. He is joined by Amit Sadh, who returns as the policeman Kabir Sawant, and Nithya Menen, who plays Abhishek’s wife, Abha.
The trailer opens with Kabir warning everybody that Avinash/J is back. But this time, we see that a young man is pulling the psychopath’s strings. Abha tells the cops that Avinash even paid her a visit. A text appears later on the screen that reads 'The mystery goes deeper, the shadows get darker', as a worried Avinash says that he cannot tell the difference between himself and his evil alter-ego anymore. The trailer also teases a race sequence that features Kabir running headfirst toward a car with Avinash in it.
The synopsis of the upcoming film read - 'J’s existence and ideology re-emerge as he sets out to finish what he started, leading Avinash to confront his merging dual identity. But this time around, he has a new partner-in-crime, Victor. Kabir Sawant must now fight the battle of his life as he protects the society that has become a victim in the endgame of this crazed saga.'
Breathe Into The Shadows is a spinoff of the original series, titled Breathe. The original show featured Amit Sadh in the same cop character who has engaged in a cat and mouse game with a suspected killer, played by R. Madhavan. The original Breathe debuted in 2018, while Breathe: Into the Shadows premiered in 2020.
It kicked off Abhishek’s debut into the world of OTT streaming services. Since then, the actor has been seen in the films like Netflix's Ludo, Netflix and JioCinemas' Dasvi, Disney + Hotstar's The Big Bull and ZEE5 's Bob Biswas. His last theatrical release was 2018's romantic comedy drama film Manmarziyaan. Breathe: Into the Shadows will be released on Netflix on November 9.
