Plot

Hari "Anna" Naik, head of an influential Malvani family, abruptly dies on the day of his youngest son's engagement. This leads to household issues over property distribution between the heirs, especially due to Sushma "Sushlya", Anna's illegitimate daughter from another woman, Shevanta. Also, the household witnesses strange paranormal events and mysteries, which some believe to be supernatural, while others believe to be tricks. Anna's right hand Natha and his wife Yamuna create paranormal events to scare the Naiks and usurp their property. Also, Sushma creates problems and haunts up events in the Naik house to retrieve her inheritance rights as well as Shevanta's jewellery. All heirs to Anna's property try to get the largest share of the property. Neelima creates haunting scenes to get Anna's property as per her commitment to her boss, for her salary. Also, Anna's friends Nene Vakil, a lawyer, and Raghu Kaka, a priest with an evil mind and evil deeds, set their eyes on Anna's property, so they too scare the family. Neelima and her boss Jatin Sheth assassinate Nene Vakil as he learns their truth.

Cast

Production

In late 2018, Zee Marathi and the production house confirmed the production of Ratris Khel Chale 2.[2]

The production and filming of series took place in Akeri, Maharashtra in the Konkan Region.[3] The first season of this serial was supposed to be based on horror, but was later shifted to thriller crime as people from the Konkan region accused the promotion of series to negatively affect the region's reputation and even a court case was filed.

Controversy

The Konkan team had objected to the series saying that the series was promoting superstition and wrongfully depicting Konkan as a scary place.[4] [5]
