Smriti Irani Returns to TV with Z+ Security for Kyunki 2

Smriti Irani films “Kyunki 2” with Z-plus security: report

According to reports, Smriti Irani, a previous Union Minister and famous actress, has started the filming of “Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2,” the anticipated follow-up of “Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.” A key point is that her shooting is happening under Z-plus security which is the highest level of protection provided. It shows that, despite her return to entertainment, she continues to play a big role in public life.

The TV show “Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi” shaped Indian TV culture for many years, with Tulsi Virani played by Smriti Irani becoming very well known. From 2000 to 2008, the show, produced by Balaji Telefilms and designed by Ekta Kapoor, became a big success and raised the standards for Indian daily soaps. Knowing the show would start again and that Irani would again be the protagonist, has ignited a lot of enthusiasm among longtime fans.
As per reports from India Forums and Filmibeat along with others, the makers of “Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2” have started shooting with careful rules in place. The protocols make sure to include strong security measures for Smriti Irani. Multiple sources say that except for phones belonging to Smriti Irani, Amar Upadhyay and Ekta Kapoor, all other phones are being controlled to prevent any information from the set from being shared. It suggests that the production house is purposely hiding information to increase audience excitement before the show’s release.

The point about Smriti Irani’s increased security is very important. People who are considered high-risk in India such as top politicians and officials, usually receive this level of protection.

Although she is no longer a Union Minister, her status as a public figure, former Member of Parliament, and household name will require these arrangements regardless. Her return to acting, even just temporarily, allows for an interesting overlap between her political career and acting career.

Ekta Kapoor announced earlier this year the show’s return, announcing a show reboot covering around 150 episodes which will complete the original 3-year intended run that was cut off. Ekta had previously stated a “politician” would be joining the cast, and it has been confirmed that it is Smriti Irani herself. Irani’s position will allow her politician supporters to join the loyal fan support of “Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi,” in one viewing.

The show, with the original leads, along with folding in the fact that they will require Z-plus (??) security on set makes a claim for consideration for one of the most discussed television events of the year. This fact alone, that they will require security is a nod to the influence of Smriti Irani and the ongoing popularity of the show after 19 years and we can be certain she will garner sufficient interest for the reboot.
