Nawazuddin Siddiqui on Inspector Jatil Yadav role
Speaking about his Inspector Jatil Yadav role in Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders, Nawazuddin said that Jatil may have evolved in every way, but his resolve is exactly the same.

Chitrangda Singh on Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Muders
Chitrangda Singh plays Meera and her character is one of the most interesting and challenging ones as she said. There is a sense of fragility and toughness all at once in her role.
As per her, this character lives in shadows- emotional, moral, and psychological. "There are many layers to Meera, she has a lot to say, there are things she’s at the cusp of revealing but cannot for fear. I am thankful to both Honey and Netflix for giving me the chance to play a complex character like this," Singh added.
Meanwhile, Radhika Apte's role as Radha adds depth to the mystery while she continues her complex dynamic with Jatil.
