Raid 2 Trailer Launch: Ajay Devgn & Vaani Kapoor Dazzle at Mumbai Event

The highly anticipated trailer of Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn's film Raid 2 was unveiled today, on April 8, in Mumbai. The trailer launch event saw the presence of Ajay Devgn, Vaani Kapoor, Abhishek Pathak, and Saurabh Shukla, along with several other members of the cast and crew. Ajay Devgn was dressed in a smart shirt and pants, while Vaani Kapoor graced the event in a beautiful lehenga. Ajay plays the role of an IRS officer, Amay Patnaik, in this sequel. The film is directed by Raj Kumar Gupta and produced by Bhushan Kumar, Kumar Mangat Pathak, Abhishek Pathak, and Krishan Kumar under the Panorama Studios banner.

Ajay Devgn’s Humorous Replies at the Event

During the trailer launch, a journalist jokingly asked Ajay what he would do if a raid was conducted at the homes of Shahrukh Khan or Salman Khan in real life. Ajay humorously replied, "I’m an officer in the film, so I’m not the one raiding their houses. So, I don’t really know what I’d need to manage. If a raid happens at someone else’s house, I’d probably be sitting at home. And if the raid was at my place, everyone else would be sitting at their own homes!"

When asked about what he would do if he suddenly came into possession of black money, Ajay laughed and said, "Where would I even get black money from? If you give it to me, then I’ll think about it."

Ajay also shared his thoughts on what makes a successful film, saying, "If the trailer is strong and the audience connects with it, the film will definitely succeed."

Saurabh Shukla Reminisces About ‘Raid’ and Ajay Devgn's Precision

Saurabh Shukla, during the event, shared an interesting story from the making of Raid 1. He spoke about a crucial scene where money is first revealed and how Ajay Devgn’s attention to detail shaped the scene. He said, "In Raid 1, there’s a moment where money is revealed. Raja Ji walks in with a gun, and then Amay Patnaik (Ajay Devgn) grabs the gun and shoots. Normally, an actor is shown how to handle the gun and fire."

He continued, "I still remember, during the rehearsal, Ajay sir stood up and said, ‘No, no, you’re doing it wrong.’ The way they were handling the gun was too stylish. Ajay sir said, ‘This is an income tax officer, not Singham. He wouldn’t shoot the gun like this.’"

Saurabh praised Ajay's commitment to realism, noting that an income tax officer who’s never used a gun wouldn’t act the way a larger-than-life action hero would. This understanding of the character and the attention to detail truly set Ajay’s portrayal apart.

Raj Kumar Gupta Hints at Expanding the ‘Raid’ Universe

When asked about the possibility of the Raid series expanding beyond North India, director Raj Kumar Gupta responded, "If this film does well, we may definitely take the series forward and explore new territories."

The filmmakers also shared an interesting historical tidbit at the event, revealing that the first-ever raid in India took place in Mumbai in 1953.

Release Date of 'Raid 2'

Raid 2 is scheduled for release on May 1, 2025. The film is the sequel to Raid (2018), which was a massive hit and one of Ajay Devgn’s most successful films. Fans are eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this gripping franchise, which promises more intense action, thrilling moments, and a captivating storyline.
