Murder 2 is a 2011 Indian Hindi-language thriller film[4] and the second installment in the Murder film series. A quasi-sequel to the 2004 film, Murder, it stars Emraan Hashmi, Jacqueline Fernandez and Prashant Narayanan, and features Sulagna Panigrahi as a debutant. Directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Mukesh Bhatt, the film was released on 8 July 2011 and became one of the highest grossing Bollywood films of 2011.[5]

The film is reportedly an unofficial adaptation of the 2008 South Korean film The Chaser, though Bhatt denied this and said that it was inspired from the 2006 Nithari killings in Noida.[6] It is remembered for its erotic scenes.[7]
