Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) profile, Devgn shared the exciting news with his followers: “IRS Amay Patnaik’s next mission begins from May 2025! Raid 2 is all set to release on 1st May 2025!”
The first Raid film was a massive success, with Ajay Devgn's portrayal of the no-nonsense officer Amay Patnaik capturing the hearts of audiences.

Helmed by Raj Kumar Gupta, the sequel promises to offer more thrilling raids, high-octane action, and gripping drama, just like its predecessor.
The film will see Devgn reprising his iconic role as the determined IRS officer, but this time, he is joined by a stellar cast that includes Riteish Deshmukh and Vaani Kapoor. Riteish, who was part of the first film, will continue to play a key role, while Vaani Kapoor's involvement adds a fresh dynamic to the storyline. Together, they will confront yet another corrupt empire, revealing the dark side of power and wealth in a high-stakes battle for justice.
Just like the original, Raid 2 will be inspired by real-life events, revolving around income-tax raids conducted by officers of the Income Tax Department, who collaborate with intelligence agencies to uncover white-collar crimes. The franchise has always been known for its realistic portrayal of such operations, blending intense drama with a sense of authenticity that resonates with audiences.
As the countdown to May 2025 begins, fans are eager to see how the story of Amay Patnaik unfolds in this gripping sequel.
