Following the release of Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, Ajay Devgn is gearing up for his upcoming projects in the second half of 2024. Fans are particularly excited about the much-anticipated sequel to the 2018 hit Raid. Initially, the makers announced that the film would hit theaters by the end of this year. However, recent updates have confirmed a significant delay in its theatrical release, leaving fans eager but waiting a bit longer.
Directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, the first installment made a strong impact when it hit theaters on March 16, 2018. The film starred Ajay Devgn as a fearless income tax officer in the lead role. Additionally, the supporting cast includes Ileana D’Cruz, Saurabh Shukla, and Saanand Verma. On the technical front, Amit Trivedi composed the music, Bodhaditya Banerjee edited the film, and Alphonse Roy handled the cinematography.
The film’s IMDb synopsis reads: “A fearless income tax officer raids the mansion of the most powerful man in Lucknow after someone mysteriously draws his attention to the evidence.” For those looking to revisit the original before the sequel’s release, Raid is available for streaming on Prime Video and Disney+ Hotstar. With a gripping storyline and stellar cast performances, the first installment received praise upon its theatrical release.
Ajay Devgn’s Raid 2 release date postponed
At the beginning of this year, Ajay Devgn took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce that Raid 2 was slated for a November 15, 2024 release. His post read, “New Case, New Beginning! #Raid2 officially kicked off today, and the energy on set was nothing short of electrifying! Shukriya @RaviTeja_offl for gracing the mahurat shot.

However, in a recent interview, director Rajkumar Gupta shared that the film is still deep in post-production and requires additional time to be polished for its release. He stated, “We’ve adjusted the schedule, and the release is now planned for early next year instead of November.”
Though Gupta didn’t specify a new release date, fans can anticipate Raid 2 to hit theaters in early 2025. Overall, it will be intriguing to see when Raid 2 will be released. Stay tuned for more updates!
