Interesting facts

Raktabeej 2 is an Indian Bengali-language political action thriller film directed by Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee, and written by Zinia Sen. A sequel to the 2023 film Raktabeej, it stars Victor Banerjee, Abir Chatterjee, Mimi Chakraborty, Ankush Hazra, Seema Biswas, and Koushani Mukherjee. The film is produced and distributed by Windows and presented by Sanjay Agarwal. This notably marks the second collaboration of Abir Chatterjee and Ankush Hazra after 12 years since Kanamachi, where the latter played the lead role, and the former antagonist.

Production

Windows Production officially announced Raktabeej 2 on Republic Day (26 January 2025) with a motion poster release. Directors Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee described the project as a "political action thriller" with higher stakes and more intense cross-border themes than its predecessor.

Despite facing competition from three other major Bengali films during the Durga Puja release period - Devi Chowdhurani, Raghu Dakat, and Joto Kando Kolkatatei - directors Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee expressed confidence in their project, citing their "lucky charm" or "lucky mascot" - veteran actress Anashua Majumdar, who has previously worked with Windows Production in films like Mukhoshdar Bou, Gotro, and the first Raktabeej.

Seema Biswas reunited with Shiboprosad Mukherjee after 32 years, since their work in the 1993 film Uttoran. In Raktabeej 2 she appears in a markedly different avatar — draped in a jam-coloured Dhakai saree with a ghomta — and is described by the filmmakers as being presented in the mould of a political personality; many of her scenes are opposite Victor Banerjee.

Ankush Hazra was cast as the lead antagonist, marking a significant negative role for the actor. He featured in the song "Govinda Dant Maje Na" in Raktabeej, the prequel of this film, and also appeared in the credit scene.

Principal photography began in Kolkata on 11 March 2025.
