With the release of Raid, starring Ajay Devgn, in 2018, director Raj Kumar Gupta had both critical and economic success. It was inspired from real events and it centered around an income tax raid carried out by an upright and honest officer, played by Devgn.
The success of the first film gave rise to Raid 2, the second film in the franchise also starring Devgn in the lead. The makers of the film announced last year that it would be releasing in theatres on November 15 this year.
Now, director Raj Kumar Gupta has exclusively confirmed with Bollywood Hungama that the film is indeed postponed and also threw light on its possible release.
“Raid 2 is happening early next year,” said Gupta. “The exact date of the release will happen from the producers’ side but it’s releasing early next year.”
Raid saw Saurabh Shukla play the role of the antagonist. Raid 2 will be Riteish Deshmukh as Devgn’s nemesis. Interestingly, Gupta’s web show Pill released recently and it saw Riteish play the main protagonist fighting against a corrupt pharma company.
