What’s New in Raid 2
The story takes forward Ajay’s journey from the first Raid film, where he played an upright officer going after black money. This time, his mission is even tougher — targeting “Dadabhai,” played by Riteish Deshmukh, a ruthless politician who knows how to manipulate the system.
The trailer starts with Ajay storming into Dadabhai’s mansion for what is said to be his 75th raid. But things are not as easy this time. With powerful backing and tricks up his sleeve, Dadabhai won’t surrender without a dirty game. The clash is intense, and Ajay’s reply in the trailer sends chills — “Kaun kaha main Pandava hoon? Main toh poora Mahabharat hoon.” This dialogue has already become a talking point.
