Bollywood star Ajay Devgn is set to reprise his role in the sequel to his 2018 hit 'Raid'. The shooting for 'Raid 2' commenced today, January 6, in Mumbai, and the film is scheduled to be extensively shot in Mumbai, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan. Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Kumar Mangat Pathak, Abhishek Pathak, and Krishan Kumar, the sequel is directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, who also helmed the first installment.
Abhishek Pathak shared the news along with a poster of the film, announcing that 'Raid 2' will hit theaters on November 15, 2024. The caption on the poster reads, "IRS Officer Amay Patnaik returns for another gripping case! Get ready for intense drama and suspense with Raid 2 on 15th November 2024!"
The sequel promises to be more intense with "double the drama and suspense," focusing on celebrating the "unsung heroes of the Income Tax Department."
The original 'Raid' was well-received by both audiences and critics, telling the story of a real-life income-tax raid on Indian industrialist Sardar Inder Singh in the 1980s, recognized as the longest raid in Indian history. The film starred Ileana D'Cruz and Saurabh Shukla in key roles.
In addition to 'Raid 2,' Ajay Devgn has a busy lineup, including the film 'Maidaan' and upcoming projects like Rohit Shetty's 'Singham Again' and a romantic drama titled 'Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha,' where he will be paired opposite Tabu, directed by Neeraj Pandey.
