The second season of Saif Ali Khan’s digital debut series Sacred Games has been nominated in the best drama category for the International Emmy Awards and the actor says it is a “well deserved” nod.

The second season of the Sacred Games , starring Saif and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, has been nominated in the best drama category alongside Brazil’s Contra Todos - season three , Germany’s Bad Banks and U.K.’s McMafia .

“It’s great [moment], I mean the idea was to do something honest on a platform that is kind of international. Something like

Narcos that is a Netflix original and they encourage you tell your story the way you do but to an international audience,” Khan, who has won a lot of appreciation for his performance as Sartaj Singh, told

PTI.

“Hence I feel in a way it is well deserved to have been nominated at an international platform. Full credit to the team and the production and of course the directors and the lovely actors,” Khan said.

Anurag Kashyap and Neeraj Ghaywan directed the second season of Sacred Games while Vikramaditya Motwane served as a showrunner.
