Hinting that he will rule Sacred Games season 2 as main antagonist, Pankaj Tripathi on how he took up a bit role for bigger things

Pankaj Tripathi and Nawazuddin Siddiqui on the show Sacred Games
Pankaj Tripathi's role of the godman, Guruji, was the surprise package of the first season of Sacred Games. While many were disappointed that the actor had only four scenes in the Saif Ali Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui-starrer, Tripathi hints that, in a departure from the source material - Vikram Chandra's novel by the same name - his character will become the mastermind behind the chain of events in the second part.
The pilot season sees Siddiqui's Gaitonde describe the godman as his "teesra baap", one who taught him the tricks of the trade. Come season two and Tripathi suggests that it will be a clash of titans as Guruji bails out on his protege. "Guruji is a larger-than-life part and will become the most sought-after character in the series. My character becomes as big as Gaitonde," says the actor.
