They share a long-rivalry that began when Gaitonde stole Suleiman’s mistress Kukoo. It is also revealed that Gaitonde was trapped in Kenya by RAW for the safety of Suleiman.

In the second season, he ultimately finds out that the Ashram that his father used to visit is full of extremists who want to create a conflict-free world with their apocalyptic plans. At the same time, he tries to figure out Gaitonde’s connection with his father. In season 1, Sartaj tries to unravel the evil schemes of the extremists. The clues left behind by the gang lord warn of the approaching doom. Before his demise, Gaitonde had notified Sartaj to save his city in 25 days. However, his death is just the beginning of a long story. Sartaj tracks him down while they are on call, but before he could arrest him, Gaitonde dies by suicide. He finally gets an opportunity to do something noteworthy when he receives a call from the fugitive gangster Ganesh Gaitonde. But he hates that his profession has such a bad reputation. Tired of the corruption in the police department, an ordinary middle-aged policeman, Sartaj Singh, genuinely wishes to curb crime. The star-studded cast also includes Kalki Koechlin as Batya, Sameer Kochhar as Markand, Neeraj Kabi as DCP Dilip Parulkar, Jatin Sarna as Deepak “Bunty” Shinde, and Elnaaz Norouzi as Zoya Mirza/Jamila, among many others. Radhika Apte and Pankaj Tripathi essay the crucial roles of Anjali Mathur and Guruji, respectively. The show is led by Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Ganesh Gaitonde, a notorious crime lord, and Saif Ali Khan as Inspector Sartaj Singh. Therefore, despite the huge fan following and high ratings, a ‘Sacred Games’ season 3 seems unlikely. Since the show has exhausted the source material, i.e., Vikram Chandra’s mystery thriller novel in seasons 1 and 2, there is not a great chance for the show’s return. Moreover, in an interview, Nawazuddin Siddiqui hinted that season 3 of ‘Sacred Games’ is most likely not happening because there is no material left to cover. On the contrary, the diverse patterns can also imply that the bomb detonates at the end, and all efforts to stop the extremists are rendered futile. So, this can mean two things! If the defusing pattern is different from the original one, it means that Sarjat succeeds in defusing the bomb. With four seconds remaining, he draws a pattern, and the screen shows “loading.” However, it is noteworthy that the pattern drawn by Shahid Khan and Sartaj Singh is different. Sartaj’s team decides to give up and flees, but Sartaj is determined to defuse the bomb. In the finale, Shahid Khan successfully activates the bomb with a pattern-protected password. The ending has been deliberately left open to interpretation. Season 2 ends on a cliffhanger leaving everything to fans’ judgment. It consists of eight episodes with a runtime of 43–58 minutes each. ‘Sacred Games’ season 2 dropped in its entirety on Netflix on August 15, 2019. So, will there ever be a ‘Sacred Games’ season 3? Let’s find out!
