“Regardless of whoever maybe the director of each crime-drama, we (as cops) will write the climax scene,“ (Iss jurm-khel ka nirdeshak chaahe koi bhi ho---Lekin antim scene hum (policewale) likhenge).!

Manoj Bajpayee's Fiery Dialogue in 'Silence 2

This is one of the impactful fiery ‘attention-arresting’ dialogues delivered by the badass super-cop  ACP Avinash Verma played by three times National Award winner versatile actor Manoj Bajpayee in ZEE5 original movie Silence 2: The Night Owl Bar Shootout which will streaming on April 16th India’s largest home-grown video streaming platform and a multilingual storyteller, unveiled the trailer of much-anticipated second installment of 'Silence' an edgy gripping murder-suspense-mystery movie.

Directed by the hugely talented Aban Bharucha-Deohans, the Silence-2  ZEE5 original movie stars the powerhouse duo Manoj Bajpayee and Prachi Desai, alongside a stellar ensemble cast - Sahil Vaid, Vaquar Shaikh forming the Detection Special Crime Unit and style-icon glam-girl trained actress Parul Gulati in a vital role as “Aarti”.  Produced by Zee Studios and Candid Creations, this new 2nd chapter promises to take the audience on a rollercoaster ride of thrill, mystery, and intrigue.  On Tuesday, April 16th,  Silence 2: The Night Owl Bar Shootout will be taking the viewers on a killer-thriller suspense journey.

Interestingly, the crime-thriller ZEE5 movie Silence 2 is produced by  Filmfare Award-winning former highly-acclaimed cinematographer (DoP) Kiran Deohans  ( also fondly called “KD”) who has shot landmark hit movies like ‘Qayamat Sey Qayamat Tak’, ‘Sarbjit’,  Agneepath (2012), Aks-The Reflection,  Jodhaa Akbar, Manikarnika and of course Kabh Khushi Kabhie Gham.

However, in the ZEE5 movie, Kiran prefers to be only the producer. “ In this co-production collab with ZEE5  (‘Silence 1 and 2 ) I have given full creative independence to my talented director-wife Aban and also to the director of photography Pooja Gupte, who used to my former assistant in the shooting-camera department and I consciously do not go on the sets while they are shooting,” informs  Kiran who arranges for ‘chicken lollypops’ to be given to the cast and crew during the snacks-breaks. “ This is mainly to ease the tension, as most of the crime-drama scenes are intense and difficult,” explains producer Deohans, whose gesture of  arranging for ‘chicken lollypops’ during snacks-breaks,  was openly appreciated by the frank-natured yet down-to-earth Manoj Bajpayee,

 Director Aban Bharucha Deohans shared, “The trailer for our Silence 2: The Night Owl Bar Shootout is just a glimpse of the gripping mystery that awaits our audience. Defying conventional stereotypes, I have consciously cast a charming actress (Prachi Desai) in the mould of a pretty-tough-talking stern yet smart police inspector Sanjana Bhatia.   There's so much more excitement and intrigue packed into the film, waiting to unfold on screen. Performances by Manoj Bajpayee and the entire team have elevated the script which is sure to deliver an edgy experience as they silence the killer-criminals and also track the actual sadistic killers  Post the success of Silence… Can You Hear It, I am overjoyed to collaborate with ZEE5 once again for the sequel’s premiere and hoping that viewers will embrace the film as much or more.”

 Manoj Bajpayee ( of ‘Shool’ movie fame) reacted “I am ecstatic to once again be part of Silence 2: The Night Owl Bar Shootout and to bring ACP Avinash Verma back to the screen for another gripping murder mystery movie. Working on this second installment has been an exhilarating experience, and I'm excited to double the thrill for our eager audiences and loyal fans. Collaborating with ZEE5 again for this movie feels like a perfect fit, and Aban Bharucha Deohans and the makers has done an incredible job on the film. The entire cast, including Prachi, Sahil, Vaquar, and Parul, brought their A-Level game, making it a truly memorable journey. I will also be exploring more detailed nuances and my personal back-story as ACP Avinash, his loneliness, and his daring mission. In real-life I have inter-acted with and observed diligent cops and senior police officers in local police stations.  We should salute their constant dedication to duty, giving limited time to their personal life and families.

TV star celeb and ‘Rock On’ movie fame Prachi Desai said, “I had such a wonderful time teaming up with a legendary brilliant actor like Manoj Bajpayee and stepping out of my comfort zone to play a de-glam police officer Sanjana with the tough, stern look and get-up.  Collaborating with the entire cast once again for the second part in the franchise was something I looked forward to. Plus ZEE is like my home ground where I started my acting career ”. She added, “The Silence 2 trailer only gives the audience a glimpse of what the movie has to offer. The thrills, action, mystery, and plot unexpected twists will keep the audience fully hooked and on the edge of their seats.”
