Makers of the popular web series ‘Asur’ have finally announced the release date for the second season of the show. ‘Asur 2’, featuring Arshad Warsi, will premiere on JioCinema on June 1.

Accoding to Hindustan Times, The promo shared Wednesday evening opens with a voice telling us that “the world needs a new order” even as we see all the characters tense and in search of some answers. In an intense scene, Arshad points his gun at a person and says in hindu, “You are answerable to your God, I am answerable to no one.”

The one-minute-long video builds suspense and leaves audience wondering whether the “dark side” will indeed win over the other side.
