This time, he’s joined by the stunning Chitrangda Singh, who takes on a pivotal role, adding fresh intrigue to the already gripping narrative.
The Next Chapter in Jatil Yadav’s Journey
Directed by Honey Trehan, who masterfully helmed the original, Raat Akeli Hai 2 is set to dive deeper into the dark underbelly of small-town India. While plot details are tightly under wraps, sources hint at another high-profile case that challenges Jatil Yadav’s investigative skills.
This marks a special reunion for Nawazuddin and Chitrangda, who were originally set to work together on the 2017 film Babumoshai Bandookbaaz.

The sequel is scripted by Smita Singh Khan, who also penned the first installment’s tightly woven narrative. It’s being produced under Macguffin Pictures, led by Honey Trehan and Abhishek Chaubey, in association with Ronnie Screwvala’s RSVP Movies.
The film is set to begin production next month, with shooting locations spanning across Delhi, Lucknow, Kanpur, and Mumbai. Fans can expect a late 2025 release, bringing another chapter of suspense and drama to their screens.
