Directed by Rakesh Rawat and inspired by actual incidents, Midnight Delhi is about a notorious serial killer who used to attack innocent people in Delhi.
Speaking about both films, Jha said, “Midnight Delhi is a special film. It's about one night in Delhi and this character 'Blademan' took me to some dark places. I am grateful to IIFFB and CSAIFF for giving the film a platform. As for Hum Bhi Akele... I am happy it will be on the big screen in Boston which is what it was meant for originally. Hope the LGBTQ community in Boston showers it with the same love that the 10 million-plus viewers have on OTT."
