Director Danish Aslam on the second season of It’s Not That Simple 2, the digital space and future projects
The second season is written by Charudutt Acharya, who also penned season 1. The first season was a fairly insular story. It centred around a character and her husband, their child and two potential lovers.
In 2016, when Mira, essayed by Swara Bhaskar, decided to spread her wings and explore a life outside the marriage-husband-child gamut, in It’s Not That Simple (INTS), season 1, it was a new start of sorts. The narrative of a woman trying to have it all was still being handled with kid gloves by mainstream media. The show directed by filmmaker Danish Aslam, streamed on Voot, the digital arm of Viacom 18, is now in its second season and takes the story of Mira forward, as she juggles the role of a single mother, a successful architect and also deals with her desires. There are new actors as well — the darling of the digital space Sumeet Vyas is seen, and Purab Kohli plays the editor of a news start up. We caught up with Aslam, and he elaborated on why the show was relevant in today’s time. Excerpts:
In the second season of INTS, we see other layers, across a cross-section of characters.
The second season is written by Charudutt Acharya, who also penned season 1. The first season was a fairly insular story. It centred around a character and her husband, their child and two potential lovers. With the second season, we took the title of the show and applied it to various facets of relationships — a father and daughter, a bisexual person and a lesbian one, there is a young-adult couple as well. We also wanted to explore many inter-sex narratives to portray the change we are witnessing as a society.
