Actor Karan Tacker is all set to reprise his role as intelligence officer Farooq Ali in the second season of Special Ops. A fan-favourite since season one, the character has become synonymous with Tacker’s intense screen presence and sharp performance. With anticipation running high, fans are eagerly waiting to see how Farooq’s journey unfolds in the upcoming season.
After a thrilling first installment, the new chapter of the franchise will see Himmat Singh and his elite team tackling threats rooted in cybercrime and artificial intelligence (AI). While the show promises high-octane action and unexpected twists, it’s not just Farooq’s professional arc that’s evolving — Karan himself is pushing his physical and emotional limits like never before.
But what’s really caught fans off guard is a recently released BTS video by Jio Hotstar, where a gripping scene shows Farooq being dragged by the neck and lying unconscious. The moment has sparked a wave of reactions and speculation online:
> @vedashreeskulkarni: “0:54 🥺🥺🥺 please don’t tell me Farooq’s gonna die…!!💔”
> @simhapratap: “0:55 I hope by next, he meant Special OPS 3”
> @valiantwanderer4897: “What what what? Noh. Seems Farooq Ali is not gonna survive this season 😢”
> @chaashney: “🥰🥰”
> @valiantwanderer4897 (again): “Can’t wait 🫷”@cars227
Ohhh no there is no special oops without Farooq❤
Whether this shocking visual is the end of Farooq Ali or just a clever misdirection, only time will tell. One thing is clear: fans aren’t ready to say goodbye
Directed by Shivam Nair and Neeraj Pandey, Special Ops 2 premieres July 18 on JioCinema (Hotstar)
Meanwhile, Karan Tacker’s career graph continues to rise with powerful upcoming projects like Tanvi The Great and Bhay, promising that we’ll be seeing much more of his on-screen brilliance, no matter what happens to Farooq.
