The serial killer film Raman Raghav 2.0 recently debuted at Cannes before being released in its native India on 24 June 2016.
Raman Raghav was a real-life Indian serial killer, and the reasoning behind his terrible crimes still remains unclear. In the film a new killer named Ramanna idolizes Raghav to the extent that he tries to replicate his killings, with a young cop trying to hunt him down and put an end to him once and for all.
Director Anurag Kashyap is a big name in India, with his previous films including Ugly and the two-part Gangs of Wasseypur. Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Anurag Kashyap star.
