D.P. 2 Teaser: Jung Hae In and Koo Kyo Hwan are on a deadly mission in intense action-packed season 2

Actors Jung Hae In and Koo Kyo Hwan are all set to reprise their roles in the upcoming action-packed season of D.P. 2. Following the first glimpse at the Netflix Tudum 2023 event, the first teaser was unveiled on June 27, 2023.

In the first teaser, a soldier appears in the first scene who has drowsy eyes and seems to have to give up. He ends up committing a heinous crime by firing a rifle at people. One sees Ahn Joon Ho (Jung Hae In) and Han Ho Yeol (Koo Kyo Hwan) reprise their roles and team up to take to the streets and rescue the deserters who ran away from their positions. Actors Son Suk Goo, Kim Sung Kyun, and more also make their appearance. The season seems more intense and heavier than the first one.

The logline reads, “It'll always be the same. The deserters run, and the D.P. pursues. No matter what happened or happens nothing will ever change unless we do something, anything.”

D.P. 2 will arrive on Netflix on July 28, 2023.

BREAKING: Abhishek Bachchan bags Shoojit Sircars next; goes on floors in August

Actor Abhishek Bachchan is all set to complete 23 years on June 30. On this day, in the year 2000, his debut film Refugee was released in cinemas. In recent times, his web show Breathe: Into The Shadows was highly praised, especially his challenging act. Interestingly, he hasn’t had a theatrical release in almost 5 years. His love triangle Manmarziyaan arrived on the big screen in September 2018. He was then seen in films like Ludo (2020), The Big Bull (2021), Bob Biswas (2021) and Dasvi (2022), all of which were released directly on OTT.

But in 2023 and 2024, Abhishek Bachchan is expected to be seen in several films. In a recent interaction with ETimes, he revealed that he has bagged Shoojit Sircar’s next film. He also stated that it’ll go on floors in August this year.

Interestingly, Shoojit has worked with his father, Amitabh Bachchan, several times. Both collaborated for a Gujarat Tourism campaign. Then Shoojit directed Big B in Shoebite, which unfortunately never saw the light of day. Then the veteran actor was seen in Shoojit’s Piku (2015), co-starring Deepika Padukone and Irrfan Khan. The film was a huge box office and critical success and also fetched 3 National Awards, including one for Amitabh. It remains to be seen if Shoojit’s film with Abhishek Bachchan also turns out to be yet another critical and commercial winner.

Speaking of other releases of Abhishek Bachchan, he has completed SSS7 (2019). It is a remake of the Tamil film Oththa Seruppu Size 7. SSS7 promises to make for a unique watch, as Abhishek is the only actor that features in the film. This will be followed by R Balki’s Ghoomer, co-starring Saiyami Kher and Shabana Azmi.

Another Tamil remake that Abhishek is a part of is KD (2019). The Hindi remake’s title is expected to be changed. Just like the original, the remake is also helmed by Madhumita while it is produced by Nikkhil Advani’s Emmay Entertainment. Lastly, Abhishek recently wrapped up a film, which is directed by Remo Dsouza. There were speculations that it is called Dancing Dad and is the same film that Salman was supposed to do at one point. However, recent reports suggest that Abhishek’s film has a different script altogether.
