Sequel to Netflix’s ‘Raat Akeli Hai’ announced: ‘The Bansal Murders’ to premiere at IFFI 2025

Mumbai, Nov 3 (UNI) The makers of the Nawazuddin Siddiqui-starrer ‘Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders’ have officially announced the sequel to Netflix’s acclaimed 2020 crime thriller.
Directed by Honey Trehan and written by Smita Singh, the film once again follows Inspector Jatil Yadav, the sharp and determined police officer audiences first met in the original.
Produced by RSVP and MacGuffin Pictures, the sequel picks up a few years after the events of the first movie, as Jatil finds himself entangled in another chilling case — a brutal murder that unravels dark secrets buried within a powerful family.
The film boasts a stellar ensemble cast including Chitrangada Singh, Rajat Kapoor, Deepti Naval, Ila Arun, Revathy, Akhilendra Mishra, Priyanka Setia, Sanjay Kapoor, and Radhika Apte, alongside Siddiqui.
The crime thriller is set to have its world premiere at the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa this November before streaming on Netflix.
Sharing his excitement about returning to the role, Nawazuddin said, “Jatil Yadav is a character very close to me — flawed, restless, yet relentless in his pursuit of justice. In Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders, he faces a case that challenges everything he stands for.”
“Smita and Honey have created a world that feels raw and real, where every clue hides a deeper secret. Returning as Jatil feels like picking up unfinished business. I’m grateful to RSVP, MacGuffin Pictures, and Netflix for allowing me to explore new layers of this man behind the uniform. I can’t wait for audiences to see what lies ahead,” he added.
The first film was lauded for its gripping narrative and powerful performances, and the sequel promises to bring back the same tense atmosphere — with new mysteries, emotional depth, and unexpected twists.
‘Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders’ will stream soon on Netflix following its premiere at IFFI 2025. UNI MI SSP
