“Gullak’s remarkable run amongst the audience was propelling enough for us to come up with a second season. The show resonated for its compelling narrative and relatable instances that are symbolic to a middle-class Indian household. The story also benefits from a bunch of incredible actors. With this all-new season, we hope the show rescripts success and starts of the year on a warm and pleasing note for everyone.”
Arunabh Kumar – Producer & Founder, TVF
“Gullak showcases the beauty, humour and simplicity of a North Indian middle class Family which connected with everyone in Season 1 and would only bring more smiles to the viewers after a tough year like 2020. This is our first stint of 2021, made with utmost care amidst the lockdown and we are eagerly thrilled for the audience to watch the second season of this heart-warming show on SonyLIV.”
