Ajay Devgn’s much-anticipated sequel, Raid 2, is finally set to hit theaters on May 1, 2025, after multiple delays. The film will see Devgn reprise his role as the steadfast income tax officer Amay Patnaik, a character that won hearts in the first installment. Alongside Devgn, Raid 2 also stars Vaani Kapoor, Riteish Deshmukh, and Saurabh Shukla in significant roles, promising an ensemble cast that will drive the film’s gripping narrative.

The announcement came with a new poster shared by Devgn on social media, building anticipation for the upcoming film. He wrote, “Naya Shehar. Nayi File. Aur Amay Patnaik Ki Ek Nayi Raid,” signaling the fresh new challenges and raids that will unfold in the sequel. Devgn’s social media post also confirmed that the film will release on May 1, 2025. Fans who have been eagerly waiting for the film since its initial announcement were relieved to hear the official release date, following a series of delays.

Raid 2 was initially scheduled to release on November 15, 2024, but was delayed multiple times before settling on its current release date in May 2025. The film has been extensively shot in Delhi and Lucknow, offering an exciting backdrop for the action-packed narrative that promises to follow in the footsteps of its predecessor. The delay in the release has only heightened fans’ expectations, who are excited to see the next chapter in Amay Patnaik’s relentless pursuit of justice.

The first Raid film, which was based on a real-life income tax raid conducted in the 1980s on Sardar Inder Singh, became a massive hit. The raid, known for its duration of three days and two nights, was one of the longest in Indian history. Raid stood out for its gripping storytelling and the portrayal of courage in the face of adversity. Raid 2 looks to continue this trend by offering another adrenaline-filled ride, with Patnaik returning to his mission of exposing corruption and taking down powerful criminals.

The sequel is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Kumar Mangat Pathak, Abhishek Pathak, and Krishan Kumar, under the banner of T-Series and Panorama Studios. The film is presented by Gulshan Kumar and T-Series, ensuring a strong production value and widespread distribution. With its mix of action, drama, and suspense, Raid 2 is expected to be another blockbuster that will continue the legacy of the original film. Fans of Ajay Devgn and the first Raid film are undoubtedly looking forward to this exciting sequel, which promises to bring another thrilling chapter to the franchise.
