In what can be termed as a perfect conjunction of Tollywood and Bollywood talent, actor Ravi Teja marked the commencement of the highly anticipated sequel ‘Raid 2’ by giving the inaugural mahurat clap. The event was a significant milestone in kicking off the production phase of the film which stars the formidable Ajay Devgn in the lead role. Devgn, widely admired for his versatile acting prowess, took to Instagram to share a momentous photo from the set, featuring himself and Ravi Teja amid warm smiles, signaling the bright start of the new project. Accompanying the snapshot, Devgn captioned, “New Case, New Beginning! #Raid2 officially kicked off today, and the energy on set was nothing short of electrifying! Shukriya @raviteja_2628, for gracing the mahurat shot.”
The ceremony embodied the enthusiasm and dedication that the cast and crew have towards bringing life to this sequel. Director Raj Kumar Gupta, the maestro behind the original ‘Raid’, is once again at the helm, infusing his unique storytelling abilities into this second installment. The film is slated to be shot in the bustling locales of Mumbai, the traditional landscapes of Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, and the historic backdrop of Delhi.
With the backing of an accomplished production team including Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar along with Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak under the respected banners of T-Series and Panorama Studios, there are high expectations for ‘Raid 2’. The original film, which debuted in 2018, saw both commercial success and critical acclaim powered by its compelling script inspired by real-life income tax raids of the 1980s. The ensemble cast featured Saurabh Shukla and Ileana D’Cruz, the latter portraying Ajay Devgn’s on-screen wife with a convincing dramatic flair.
Looking beyond ‘Raid 2’, Ajay Devgn’s upcoming slate of projects is as impressive as it is diverse. The actor will grace the silver screen in Neeraj Pandey’s ‘Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha’ with Tabu, offering fans a musical love story that tugs at the heartstrings covering an epic sprawl from 2002 through 2023, promising a broad multi-language release. Devgn’s acting finesse will also be showcased in a period drama titled ‘Maidaan’, produced by Boney Kapoor, where the canvas of soccer meets the depth of historic India. Partnering with R Madhavan, he is set to star in an untitled supernatural thriller, a genre that is sure to excite the audience.
