\nSPOILER ALERT<\/strong>: This article contains spoilers for \u201cDeli Boys\u201d Season 2, which premiered May 28 on Hulu with all six episodes.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\tHulu\u2019s crime comedy \u201cDeli Boys\u201d ramps things up in its second season, as Mir (Asif Ali) and Raj Dar (Saagar Shaikh) try to run their late father\u2019s cocaine empire with the help of Lucky (Poorna Jagannathan).<\/p>\n

\n\tBut as \u201cDeli Boys\u201d returns, the two brothers are at a crossroads. Mir is focused on fulfilling his dad\u2019s dreams of investing DarCo money in golf courses and country clubs, while Raj is focused on avenging their father\u2019s death at the hands of his former lieutenant, Ahmad (Brian George).<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBaba\u2019s dream was to get these golf courses going so our family can get out of having full reliance on a criminal enterprise to make money,\u201d Ali tellsVariety<\/em>. \u201cHis idea was to wash the money so that we can just be members of society. I think Mir\u2019s character sacrificed a lot with breaking up his engagement and his wedding, and now he\u2019s working to make the dream happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShaikh says that, although Raj is much more of a \u201cpeace and love\u201d type, Ahmad\u2019s actions cannot go unpunished.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe reason we are in this mess is because Ahmad killed Baba,\u201d he said. \u201c[The Dar brothers] could have lived good lives. They could have been ignorant of Baba\u2019s crimes. Raj could have still had his orgy cabal and his coping room.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tRaj eventually seeks out Ahmad, who is demanding a big cash payout for his silence surrounding DarCo and the cocaine smuggling. Raj shows up to the meeting armed to the teeth (and pretty stoned), but seemingly lets Ahmad live. Not long after, it is reported that Ahmad was killed with a car bomb and Raj is arrested for murder. Thankfully, Raj\u2019s mugshot goes viral and he is quickly known as the \u201cFuck Me Felon.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tAiding him in his release is a lawyer (played by Kumail Nanjiani) who also happens to have a romantic past with Lucky. Both Ali and Shaikh praised Nanjiani for his improv abilities, particularly in a court room scene opposite Andrew Rannells, who plays a hard-charging DA running for mayor. Nanjiani also gets to show off his ping pong skills against Fred Armisen, who plays casino magnate and money launderer Max Sugar.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThere are some scenes in there where they just let him rip, like that courtroom scene,\u201d Ali says of Nanjiani. \u201cThat was so much improvising. I think I think came out really great, and also the ping pong thing. [Shaikh] got to play him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDuring lunch, yeah, we played for an hour,\u201d Shaikh adds. \u201cIt\u2019s the best. I mean, he\u2019s so cool, and he was so prepared and ready to play. It was so fun to just sit there and watch [Nanjinai and Rannells] do their thing. I love that guy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAs the season comes to its end, the boys and Lucky come out on top, topple Max\u2019s empire, and get Chadwater under their thumb. But the celebration is short-lived, as they receive a note from \u201cthe eldest Dar,\u201d who warns they are coming to take their piece of Baba\u2019s fortune.<\/p>\n

\n\tWho that other Dar sibling might be? Ali has a theory. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cRobert Downey Jr., but he still plays Doom,\u201d he jokes. \u201cIt\u2019s part of the multiverse.\u201d<\/p>\n
