Netflix’s acclaimed murder mystery, Raat Akeli Hai, is making a return with an exciting sequel, and this time, Chitrangda Singh takes center stage. While Nawazuddin Siddiqui reprises his role as the sharp and unyielding Inspector Jatil Yadav, Chitrangda joins as the female lead, adding a fresh and intriguing dynamic to the gripping thriller.
The storyline for the sequel remains a closely guarded secret, leaving audiences curious about how it will follow the first installment. The original film centred around the mysterious murder of a newly married landlord, with a misfit cop, portrayed by Siddiqui, navigating the complexities of the case amidst a secretive family.
The sequel will be a fresh crime story. The only connection from Raat Akeli Hai is Radhika [who plays Radha, his paramour], Tigmanshu as senior SP Lalji Shukla IPS and Ila Arun [as Sarita Kumari, Jatil’s mother]. The film opens with Jatil enjoying domestic bliss with Radha, till a new series of crimes unfold and he is asked to solve the case,” reveals a source.
In addition to her role in the Raat Akeli Hai sequel, Chitrangda Singh is set to appear in Housefull 5, which features a star-studded cast.
