“Acting alongside Nawaz bhai is a learning. He is a master of the craft and makes you look good by just being in the same frame. I take it as an honour and opportunity to be working with him again in Raat Akeli Hai. Incidentally, Haraamkhor was my debut film as it has been shot before the making of Masaan. However, it released later. So I feel fortunate to have made my debut alongside Nawaz bhai," Shweta said.

Nawazuddin, in fact, has also worked with Radhika previously in Badlapur and Manjhi-The Mountain Man. Raat Akeli Hai also co-stars Ila Arun, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Swanand Kirkire, Khalid Tyabji and Padmavati Rao.
