After doing some quirky comedy, the Singham of Bollywood is back with the genre that suits him the most. We are talking about superstar Ajay Devgn , who is back with a series action-drama ‘ Raid ’, where he is playing the Income Tax Commissioner, Amay Patnaik. The trailer dropped a few minutes ago and we can surely see Ajay Devgn as the series officer for whom his duty matters the most.
Set in the 80s, ‘ Raid ’ is based on one of the most high profile raids the country has ever known and is India's first film on income tax raids. A fearless Income Tax officer Amay Patnaik (Ajay) carries out a non-stop raid at the mansion of Tauji ( Saurabh Shukla ) the most powerful man in Lucknow. Will Tauji manage to stop the raid or will the Amay Patnaik bring him down?
In a statement published in a leading portal, Raj Kumar Gupta said, “Raid is a story that needs to be told on the big screen. I am looking forward to my collaboration with Ajay sir, Bhushanji, Kumarji and Abhishek on this film.”
Producer Bhushan Kumar also added, “ Ajay Devgn is a great actor. We have produced Baadshaho and are now happy to be also producing Raid. Raid is a content driven film and we are excited to produce it.”
The trailer looks intriguing and Ajay’s co-star from ‘ Baadshaho ’, Ileana D’Cruze , is seen playing his wife. The movie is made under the banner of Bhushan Kumar ’s T-Series and it is helmed by Raj Kumar Gupta . With a star cast like Ajay, Ileana and Saurabh Shukla , the Raj Kumar Gupta ’s ‘ Raid ’ is all set to take place on 16th March 2018.
