ZEE5 announced Season 2 of its most popular franchise 'Rangbaaz' earlier this year. Thereon, audiences have been anticipating and looking forward to the watch the series.

Accelerating the excitement for the show, ZEE5 has now launched the first character poster with main man Jimmy Sheirgill in a never-seen-before avatar. The talented actor will be seen essaying the role of a gangster and in the poster, he is seen sporting a cowboy hat with a gun in his hand.

When asked Jimmy, he shared, "Rangbaaz Phirse is a special show, a story of how an individual is not born a criminal but becomes one because of the circumstances around him. Iconically I knew the story of the first part even before it went on floors and it was that time I had decided that I would love to be a part of this series. So, when ZEE5 approached me with the second season, I immediately said yes. You will see me in a completely different avatar and I cannot wait for everyone to watch the show."

Inspired by true events, Rangbaaz Phirse is a fast-paced, crime thriller. It is the story of a young guy who falls through the cracks because of politics and is robbed of his youth which subsequently ruins his life. It is about misguided manipulative youth.
