The film will have its World Premiere at the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa this November, ahead of its release on Netflix.

Speaking about returning as Jatil Yadav, Nawazuddin Siddiqui said, “Jatil Yadav is a character very close to me, flawed and restless, yet relentless in the pursuit of justice. In the sequel, Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders, he faces a case that tests everything he believes in. Smita and Honey have created a world that feels real and raw, where every clue hides a secret. Coming back as Inspector Jatil Yadav feels like returning to unfinished business. I’m grateful to RSVP, MacGuffin Pictures, and Netflix for giving me the chance to explore new layers of this character. I am excited for audiences to see more from the man behind the uniform.”

The sequel expands on the tone and world of the original, offering a new mystery led by a strong cast and grounded storytelling.
