Ajay Devgn’s Raid 2 is finally set to release in theaters on May 1. The film, directed by Rajkumar Gupta, features Vaani Kapoor, Riteish Deshmukh, and Saurabh Shukla in key roles.
Ajay Devgn reprises his role as income tax officer Amay Patnaik in the sequel. Sharing the film’s poster, he announced the release date with the caption: “Naya Shehar. Nayi File. Aur Amay Patnaik Ki Ek Nayi Raid. #Raid2 knocking at your doors in cinemas near you on 1st May 2025.”
Initially scheduled for release on November 15, 2024, Raid 2 was later postponed to February 21, 2025, before being further delayed. The film, shot extensively in Delhi and Lucknow, promises another gripping action-packed thriller.
