Ajay Devgn is back as Amay Patnaik. The teaser of Raid 2, a sequel to the 2018 film Raid, which saw Devgn play Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer Amay Patnaik, was unveiled on Friday. The film also stars Riteish Deshmukh, Vaani Kapoor, and Saurabh Shukla.
The teaser reminds viewers of how Devgn’s Amay raided the house of Saurabh Shukla’s Rameshwar Singh, only to discover black money hidden in a temple. While Singh is now in jail, Amay is onto his 75th raid, this time at the house of a powerful politician, played by Deshmukh.
In the short one-minute teaser, the intense exchange between Deshmukh and Devgn’s character promises an entertaining mix of action, suspense, and high-stakes drama in Raid 2.

Raid 2 is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Kumar Mangat Pathak, Abhishek Pathak, and Krishan Kumar. It is presented by T-Series. Initially scheduled for release on November 15, 2024, the film was delayed due to post-production work.
The first Raid, which starred Ileana D’Cruz, was based on a real-life income tax raid conducted in the 1980s.
