Ajay Devgn to return with Raid 2, Bhushan Kumar confirms sequel

Bollywood’s Singham Ajay Devgn is all set to be back with a sequel of his hit flick Raid. The movie that was based on a true story had Devgn playing the role of an IRS officer. The movie also featured Ileana D’Cruz as the female lead. Raid was based on the longest raid in the 80s with Ajay playing the central role. Raid 2 will also revolve around a case inspired by a true story.

Head Honcho of T-Series’ Bhushan Kumar has also confirmed the script for ‘Raid 2’ is currently being developed.

As reported by a source to Mumbai Mirror, “The franchise seeks to bring into the public eye heroes who work closely with intelligence agencies to track white-collar crimes. To this day, nobody knows the identity of the officer on whom Ajay’s Amay was modeled. Raid 2 will also be a tribute to men who don’t wear the uniform.”

Co-producer Shushan told Mumbai Mirror, “It will be a huge multi-film franchise, and Ajay Ji and I, along with Kumar Mangat ji, are looking to take Raid forward. The script of Part 2 is being developed. Since the original was a much-loved film, the sequel is a huge responsibility. After the super success of Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, there’s a lot of pressure on this collaboration to live up to the expectation.”

On the work front, Ajay Devgn was last seen in period drama ‘Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior’. The movie also featured Kajol and Saif Ali Khan in pivotal roles. It went on to mint at the box-office. Devgn also has in ‘Bhuj: The Pride of India’, Indra Kumar’s ‘Thank God’, ‘Kaithi’ remake, and Neeraj Pandey’s ‘Chanakya’.
