Ajay Devgn is back in action, and this time, he’s bringing the heat with Raid 2. The gripping sequel hits theaters on May 1 and stars Vaani Kapoor and Riteish Deshmukh alongside Devgn in a high-stakes political thriller.

Trailer Unleashes a Storm

Unveiled on April 4, the trailer sparked immediate buzz across social media. Fans and critics alike praised its raw intensity and dramatic visuals. The story picks up with Devgn reprising his role as fearless IRS officer Amay Patnaik, who’s on a mission to bust a massive black money operation.

This time, he’s not alone—Amay returns with a powerful task force. The trailer hints at explosive confrontations, especially with Riteish Deshmukh playing a menacing corrupt politician. The action, dialogue, and sheer scale of the story have raised expectations sky-high.

Cast Reactions and Casting Buzz

Actress Raashii Khanna, known for The Sabarmati Report, was quick to share her excitement. Posting on Instagram, she called the trailer “intense and fierce,” tagging the lead trio to show her support.

The film’s trailer launch in Mumbai was a star-studded affair. When asked about the absence of Ileana D’Cruz, who starred in the original Raid (2018), both Ajay and Vaani addressed the change. Vaani said, “No jealousy with the previous one… this film shows a different side of me. It felt new and refreshing.”

Ajay added his own take, noting, “You see it in Hollywood too. Sean Connery wasn’t the only James Bond. It’s the character that matters, and actors change.”

What to Expect

Directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, Raid 2 promises more than just action—it’s layered with drama, power struggles, and a cat-and-mouse chase through India’s corrupt political underbelly. With Ajay Devgn leading a bold new mission, and Riteish Deshmukh stepping into villainous territory, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
