Ajay Devgan has been crowned the busiest actor of post-pandemic in the industry with multiple films under his kitty. One of the most successful stars in the post-pandemic world due to the success of Drishyam 2, Ajay is now switching to the franchise mode of operations. According to sources close to the development, Devgn’s next after Singham Again will be the sequel to Raid.
Now as per the latest report from Bollywood Hungama, Raid 2 will be based on the real-life story of multiple raids at the houses and factories of perfume trader Piyush Jain in Kanpur and Kannauj. Producer Kumar Mangat Pathak confirmed the follow-up film during a panel discussion at the first edition of the Kashi Film Festival in Varanasi.
Starring Ajay Devgan as a no-nonsense and upright income tax officer, Raid is supposedly based on a true incident from the 1980s. The film also stars Ileana D’Cruz and Saurabh Shukla, and will be released on March 16.
