Ajay Devgn and Vaani Kapoor's eagerly awaited sequel, *Raid 2*, will be officially released in theaters on February 21, 2025. This film follows the success of the 2018 hit *Raid*, with Ajay Devgn reprising his role as the formidable IRS officer Amay Patnaik. Directed by Rajkumar Gupta, who directed the first installment, *Raid 2* promises to continue the high-octane drama and gripping narrative that captivated audiences in the original film.
The cast of *Raid 2* features Vaani Kapoor in a prominent role, and Riteish Deshmukh as the principal antagonist. Rajat Kapoor also plays a crucial part in the sequel. The film has been extensively shot in key locations across Delhi and Lucknow, which are integral to the story's setting and atmosphere, adding a layer of authenticity to the narrative.
The makers announced the new release date through a post on social media, revealing that the film has been rescheduled from its original November 15, 2024, release to February 21, 2025. This delay allows for additional time to ensure the film meets the high standards set by its predecessor.
*Raid 2* is produced by an accomplished team including Bhushan Kumar, Kumar Mangat Pathak, Abhishek Pathak, and Krishna Kumar, with Gulshan Kumar and T-Series presenting the film. It is a production by Panorama Studios. The sequel aims to build on the success of the first *Raid*, which was inspired by a real-life income-tax raid that took place in the 1980s. This raid was notable for being the longest in Indian history, extending over three days and two nights, which adds to the film’s intrigue and dramatic tension.
Fans of the original film can expect another adrenaline-pumping ride, with high-stakes action and compelling storytelling that explores the intense challenges faced by IRS officers. With the film's new release date and its impressive cast and crew, *Raid 2* is poised to make a significant impact upon its arrival in theaters.
