The highly anticipated sequel to Ajay Devgn's 2018 hit, Raid, is shaping up to be even more intense. Titled Raid 2, the film has now welcomed Riteish Deshmukh on board, and his striking first look as the formidable politician 'Dada Bhai' is out.
The makers recently dropped the new poster, showcasing Riteish in a powerful avatar, ready to challenge Devgn’s character, IRS officer Amay Patnaik. With an air of authority, Deshmukh’s Dada Bhai declares, "Kanoon ka mohtaj nahi, kanoon ka malik hai Dada Bhai!" (Dada Bhai isn’t a slave to the law — he owns it!). This sets the stage for an epic showdown between the two characters.
