ZEE5, India's largest homegrown video streaming platform, has dropped its latest original film, "Rautu Ka Raaz," starring the acclaimed Nawazuddin Siddiqui. The film, produced by Zee Studios and Phat Phish Records, follows a laid-back murder investigation in the picturesque village of Rautu Ki Beli in Uttarakhand, promising a unique blend of suspense and humor.

This marks a reunion of ZEE5, Zee Studios, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui following the success of their previous collaboration, "Haddi," which was released on the platform last year. Hyderabad, notably, contributed the third highest viewership for "Haddi," showcasing the actor's immense popularity.

"Rautu Ka Raaz" centers around the enigmatic death of a warden at a blind school, a crime that disrupts the tranquil village after fifteen years of peace. SHO Deepak Negi (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) and his team, including Inspector Dimri (Rajesh Kumar), are drawn into this unusual investigation, navigating the case with quirky camaraderie.

The film, directed by Anand Surapur, was warmly received during its Gala Premiere at the 54th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) last year. It is now available for streaming exclusively on ZEE5.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui shared, "I am a fan of crime dramas, and I am confident that this film will be an entertaining watch with a unique twist. What sets "Rautu Ka Raaz" apart is the quirky characters and the beautiful, tranquil backdrop of Uttarakhand. The trailer captures the film's suspenseful plot and highlights its unique selling point – a smart cop unraveling a lazy murder investigation. After the warm response at IFFI, I am excited for the film to reach viewers across 190+ countries on ZEE5."
