Trailer of the second season of The Broken News starring Sonali Bendre, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Shriya Pilgaonkar was unveiled on Tuesday. The two-minute, 27-second trailer begins with Shriya, who plays Radha Bhargava, saying, "Dipankar Sanyal brazenly called me a terrorist on national television. I was sent to jail. It's my turn now. This story will destroy Dipankar Sanyal." The trailer features Radha, previously incarcerated because of Dipankar (Jaideep Ahlawat), who is now out on bail. She is poised for a comeback, determined to cleanse the broadcasting system by dismantling Dipankar and his manipulative tactics.
The trailer shows Dipankar saying, "News is boring, I concoct stories. Make the news entertaining before telecasting." In Radha's absence, Ameena (Sonali Bendre) shoulders the responsibility of fighting the 'Sach' battle alone, venturing into the streets to uncover the truth amid personal risk.
The trailer ends with Radha saying, "The entire system has decayed. To clean up the mess, I'm prepared to soil my hands."
