Nawazuddin Siddiqui on Returning as Jatil Yadav
Reflecting on reprising his beloved role, Nawazuddin shared how deeply personal Jatil Yadav remains to him:
“Jatil Yadav is one of my most complex and personal characters — flawed, restless, yet determined to uncover the truth. In Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders, he faces a case that questions everything he believes in. Smita and Honey have created a world that feels raw and authentic, where every clue hides a deeper truth. Returning as Jatil feels like picking up a case that was never really closed.”
He also expressed gratitude to RSVP Movies, MacGuffin Pictures, and Netflix for continuing the journey of the character that audiences have come to admire. – Netflix Announces Sequel to Raat Akeli Hai
