Filmmaker Raj Kumar Gupta achieved significant success in 2018 with the critically acclaimed and commercially successful film\u00a0Raid<\/em>, starring Ajay Devgn. The film, inspired by true events, focused on an income tax raid conducted by an honest and principled officer, portrayed by Devgn. <\/span>The success of\u00a0Raid<\/em>\u00a0paved the way for\u00a0Raid 2<\/em>, the sequel featuring Devgn in the lead once again. The film’s producers announced last year that it was slated for release in theaters on November 15 of this year. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On the other end, we have another set of developments surrounding another Ajay Devgn film, Singham Again<\/em>, have altered the landscape. The release of\u00a0Singham Again<\/em>\u00a0has been moved to November 1, having initially been set for August 15.<\/span>Given the close proximity of these two Ajay Devgn films, there were earlier reports suggesting that\u00a0Raid 2<\/em>\u00a0might be postponed to avoid the clash. Now, director Raj Kumar Gupta has confirmed to Bollywood Hungama that\u00a0Raid 2<\/em>\u00a0has indeed been postponed and provided insights regarding its new timeline. \u201cRaid 2<\/em>\u00a0is happening early next year,\u201d Gupta stated. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe specific release date will be determined by the producers, but it is set for early next year.\u201d<\/span>In the original\u00a0Raid<\/em>, Saurabh Shukla played the antagonist, while\u00a0Raid 2<\/em>\u00a0will introduce Riteish Deshmukh as Devgn\u2019s new nemesis. Interestingly, Riteish recently starred in Gupta\u2019s web series\u00a0Pill<\/em>, where he took on the role of a protagonist battling a corrupt pharmaceutical company.<\/span>When asked about the experience of directing Riteish in two contrasting roles, Gupta remarked, \u201cWe will discuss\u00a0Raid 2<\/em>\u00a0in more detail during the promotions, including his character. Working with him in both\u00a0Pill<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Raid 2<\/em> has been a fantastic experience.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
