The anticipation for Raid 2 has skyrocketed with the release of Riteish Deshmukh’s first character poster, revealing the actor in a fierce new avatar. Deshmukh steps into the shoes of a powerful politician, poised to lock horns with IRS officer Amay Patnaik, played by Ajay Devgn.
In the poster, Riteish commands attention in a crisp shirt layered with a Nehru jacket, embodying the aura of a seasoned political leader. Flanked by supporters waving party flags, his intense expression hints at the brewing conflict that lies ahead. Sharing the poster on social media, Deshmukh captioned it, “Kanoon ka mohtaj nahi, kanoon ka malik hai Dada Bhai! #Raid2 knocking in cinemas near you from 1st May.”
The excitement doubled after Ajay Devgn’s character poster dropped the day before, reintroducing audiences to IRS officer Amay Patnaik, who is set to confront Deshmukh’s formidable character. The sequel will delve into another gripping case as Patnaik once again takes on high-stakes crime.
