Ajay Devgn Returns in ‘Raid 2’ with a Bigger & Bolder Story
Ajay Devgn is all set to return as IRS officer Amay Patnaik in Raid 2, the sequel to the 2018 hit movie Raid. The first film, directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, was based on the longest income tax raid in Indian history and was a huge success at the box office. Now, in the sequel, Ajay Devgn will be tracking another major white-collar crime, making the film even more thrilling.
The teaser of Raid 2 was released last week and received a great response from the audience. Fans are eagerly waiting for the movie’s theatrical release on May 1, 2025. To increase the excitement even more, the makers of the film have planned a special dance number, which will feature popular actress Tamannaah Bhatia and rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh.
Tamannaah & Yo Yo Honey Singh’s High-Energy Dance Number
According to sources, Tamannaah Bhatia has been roped in for an item song in Raid 2. She has recently been in the spotlight for her hit song “Aaj Ki Raat” from Stree 2, and now she is all set to bring her magic to Raid 2.
This new high-energy dance number will also feature Yo Yo Honey Singh, who is known for his chartbuster songs. The song will be choreographed by Vijay Ganguly, the same choreographer behind Tamannaah’s performance in Aaj Ki Raat.
However, the song will not be a part of the movie’s storyline. Instead, it will be used as a promotional song and will be played during the post-credits sequence. The shooting for this music video is scheduled to take place at a Mumbai studio on Thursday and Friday.
Tamannaah & Ajay Devgn’s Upcoming Projects Together
While Tamannaah will be a part of Raid 2 through the special dance number, she and Ajay Devgn are also working together on another upcoming film.
Both actors will be seen in ‘Ranger’, directed by Jagan Shakti, who is known for his work on Mission Mangal. This will be their second film together, after Himmatwala (2013). Tamannaah is expected to join the sets of ‘Ranger’ soon after completing her shoot for the Raid 2 song.
What to Expect from ‘Raid 2’?
Raid 2 is expected to be bigger and more intense than the first movie. The makers have increased the scale of the story, making it a thrilling experience for fans. Director Raj Kumar Gupta is leaving no stone unturned to make the sequel a gripping crime thriller that is perfect for the big screen.
The movie is written by Ritesh Shah, Raj Kumar Gupta, Karan Vyas, and Jaideep Yadav. The story follows Amay Patnaik (played by Ajay Devgn) as he conducts his 75th raid. This time, he will be going up against Dada Bhai, a powerful businessman and crime lord, played by Riteish Deshmukh.
