Was Aarya always supposed to have a second season or was it planned after the success of the first one?
Ram Madhvani: The original, Penoza (a Dutch drama series) had five seasons but the greenlighting power is not in our hands, it`s in the audience`s hands. It’s not even in Disney+Hotstar’s hands. When we got so much love in season 1, the audience asked for more.
Vinod Rawat: The truth is Ram wants to make 10 seasons, then Penoza will copy us.
Ram: And Adi and Arundathi will become the dons. (laughs)
Kapil Sharma: We keep having bets on who’s the next one.
Ram: But people keep telling us it’s a women centric show, so we can’t have Adi (laughs.) We will only know about season 3 depending on the love we receive for season 2, but like I said the show is meant to have 5 seasons minimum.
Was being nominated for the Emmys something that took you all by surprise?
Ram: 24 countries were at the Emmys that evening, 600 shows had been shortlisted and we were in the top 4. It was a big deal just as a feeling, a memory. We just do our work and keep biting our fingernails hoping people will like it. Success is something we don’t take for granted.
