In Raktabeej, which had a run in the box office for over 100 years, Victor Banerjee's character was modelled after former Indian president Pranab Mukherjee, Abir had played a probe officer and Mimi a cop.
The second installment, as shown in the motion poster, is set to release during Durga Puja this year.
Raktabeej, which had carried a flavour of the festive season, was released during Durga Puja in 2023.
As per sources, actor Ankush Hazra, who had featured in an item dance and also played a surprise role in the first installment, is likely to continue in Raktabeej 2.
