More About Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders

Reprising his role in the sequel, Nawazuddin Siddiqui added, “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.” With its layered storytelling, atmospheric tension, and powerful performances, Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders continues the legacy of the original film, while pushing the boundaries of the Indian crime thriller. Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders, streaming soon, only on Netflix.
