Ajay Devgn is all set to come back as an income tax officer for the second film in the Raid franchise. The much-awaited trailer of Raid 2 was dropped today at a grand event in the presence of media. After the Raid 2 trailer was launched, the cast and makers of the film interacted with the media and answered some interesting questions. At the trailer launch event, Ajay Devgn was asked what he would do if there was a raid at Salman Khan or Shah Rukh Khan's houses, and his reply left everyone in splits.
While in interaction with media, when Ajay was asked what he would do if there is a raid at Salman or Shah Rukh's residence, the actor gave a hilarious reply. He, while replying to the question, said, "I play an officer in the film. I'm not going to their houses for real. So I don't really know what I need to manage. If ever there's a raid at their houses, I'll be sitting at my house, and vice versa. So I can't really manage anything."
The trailer of Raid 2 teases a gripping narrative between the two actors; brimming with thrills and suspense, it leaves the audience craving for more. It unveils Ajay Devgn's signature intensity, which is both commanding and compelling, along with Riteish Deshmukh's promising new avatar as an influential politician. Stepping into the shoes of a power-hungry antagonist, he oozes charm and cruelty in equal measure, making him the perfect nemesis to Devgn's unshakable lawman.
