Mumbai, July 6 (PTI): Actor-couple Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal’s podcast “Virus 2062” is returning for a second season on Spotify, the music streaming service announced on Thursday. Adapted from Chilean Spotify Original “Caso 63”, the audio-thriller podcast is the first from Spotify India to be voice-led by Bollywood actors. It is directed by Mantra Mugdh. The original 10-episode podcast is about a psychiatric patient, who claims to have come from the future, to prevent the spread of a deadly virus. Chadha voices the character of Dr Gayatri Rajput while Fazal plays Patient 63, Peter Pereira. In the new season, Dr Gayatri wakes up in a timeline to find that roles have been reversed, and she is now both the time traveller and the enigmatic patient of a psychiatrist, according to the official description. Chadha said working on the podcast was an “exciting challenge” for her. “It continues to be an insightful and interesting experience to explore this form of storytelling as a voice actor with Spotify and Mantra, and we are excited to see how listeners receive this season of ‘Virus 2062’,” the actor said in a statement.
