After creating a buzz during its first season two years ago, The Viral Fever (TVF) launched Season 2 of ‘Barely Speaking with Arnub’; its first episode featured Bollywood actress Sunny Leone in conversation with ‘Arnub’ Created as a parody to a TV talk show, the first season featured leading actors and political icons from Shah Rukh Khan, Ranveer Singh and Parineeti Chopra to the current New Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal.

Commenting on the new season, Arunabh Kumar, CEO and Founder of TVF said, “TV Channels have tried a lot of talks shows and the new millennium has seen several established actors trying their hand at hosting one. This led to all of the talk shows being more or less similar in India. “When we wanted to create an online talk show, we knew that no amount of marketing or promotions would help if we don't create a talk show with a difference. And that’s when we decided to turn the talk show format on its head and conceive it as the ‘toughest host a guest will ever get,” he said.

Biswapati Sarkar, Executive Creative Director, TVF added, “The funny thing about the show is not that we are making fun of celebrities or that we are parodying the existing Indian journalism culture. It is the fact there is a show at all and real life celebrities are appearing in it. “This season, we have expanded the Arnub universe featuring new storylines and characters in his life apart from the interviews. I'm having a great time right now working with the writers on the episodes and really excited to play Arnub once again,” he said.
