The mass maharaja of Bollywood, Ajay Devgn, has been crowned the busiest post-pandemic actor in the industry with multiple films under his kitty. One of the most successful stars in the post-pandemic world due to the success of Drishim 2, Ajay is now switching to franchise mode of operations. According to sources close to the development, Devgn’s next film after Singham Again will be the sequel to Raid.

“Ajay Devgan and his friend, Kumar Mangat, believe that much like Drishim, even Raid has achieved a cult status among audiences due to its digital and satellite reruns. The duo has roped in director Rajkumar Gupta to produce Raid 2, and the filmmaker is researching and writing the script. Multiple real-life events have been combined. Things are moving in the right direction as Devgn is happy with the way the script is shaping up. Rajkumar Gupta has found something bigger and more exciting than the first part,” a source told Bollywood Hungama.
Raid 2 is expected to go on floors by the summer of 2024 and will be a part of Ajay Devgn and Kumar Mangat’s deal with Jio. For those who don’t know, Ajay Devgan and Kumar Mangat have signed a 3-film digital deal with Jio Cinemas along with Black Magic, Raid 2 and Drishyam 3. The third Drishim film is expected to go on floors by the end of next year.
Meanwhile, Sinham d Shooting began in August with a start-to-finish schedule of 6 months. The movie stars Vicky Kaushal, Kareena Kapoor, Ranveer Singh and Akshay Kumar alongside Ajay Devgn.
