Ajay Devgn starrer Raid 2 teaser set to drop with Salman Khan’s Sikandar on Eid: Report

-

Bollywood fans are in for a double treat this Eid as Ajay Devgn gears up to unveil the much-anticipated teaser of Raid 2 alongside Salman Khan’s action-packed Sikandar. According to an exclusive report by Pinkvilla, the Raid 2 teaser is set to make its grand debut both digitally and on the big screen, promising to kick off the promotional campaign for this high-stakes sequel with a bang. Here’s everything we know about this exciting development.

A Strategic Big-Screen Launch with Sikandar Scheduled for a theatrical release on May 1, 2025, Raid 2 is poised to be one of Bollywood’s biggest releases of the year. The makers, including Ajay Devgn, Kumar Mangat, and Bhushan Kumar, leave no stone unturned to ensure maximum reach. A source quoted by Pinkvilla revealed, “Ajay Devgn, Kumar Mangat, and Bhushan Kumar are reaching out directly to the audience with the communication of being the next big-ticket releases for the big screen. Being a quintessential Hero vs Villain story, the makers are aiming to reach out to the least common denominator.”

To amplify its visibility, the Raid 2 teaser will be screened alongside Salman Khan’s Sikandar, which is slated to hit theaters on March 30, 2025, during the Eid festivities. This strategic move leverages Salman Khan’s massive Eid audience pull, ensuring that the teaser reaches a wide and diverse crowd. The source added, “While a digital launch will take place towards the end of next week, audiences will get to see it on the big screen from March 30.”

The Raid 2 team has reportedly secured a lucrative deal with multiplex owners to ensure the teaser gets prime visibility across major cinema chains. Additionally, the Key Delivery Message (KDM) for the teaser will be shared with single-screen theater owners, giving them the flexibility to screen it at their discretion. Raid 2: A High-Stakes Hero vs. Villain Showdown Directed by Rajkumar Gupta, Raid 2 is a sequel to the 2018 hit Raid, which saw Ajay Devgn portray the unflinching IRS officer Amay Patnaik. Based on a real-life income tax raid from the 1980s, the first installment was a critical and commercial success. Building on this legacy, Raid 2 promises an even more intense narrative, pitting Ajay Devgn against Riteish Deshmukh in a gripping face-off. Digital Drop and Release Timeline Fans won’t have to wait long to catch a glimpse of Raid 2. The teaser’s digital launch is slated for the end of next week, giving audiences an early taste of the action and drama to come. Following its theatrical screening with Sikandar on March 30, the buildup to the May 1 release is expected to intensify, with a full trailer reportedly dropping by mid-April. What to Expect from Raid 2 Shot across multiple locations including Mumbai, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Delhi, Raid 2 is currently in post-production. The film promises a larger-than-life experience with high-octane action, a complex case, and Ajay Devgn’s signature intensity as Amay Patnaik. As the countdown to Eid begins, Bollywood enthusiasts are buzzing with excitement for both Sikandar and the Raid 2 teaser.

He was tipped to be the next Richard Burton – but ended up as crossdressing Gunner Gloria in the now controversial sitcom. As his breakthrough classic returns to the screen, Hayes looks back One day in 1957, Melvyn Hayes was on the set of a film called Woman in a Dressing Gown when a man sat down next to him. “I was getting paid £5 a day and I’d been on location for three days,” the actor recalls. “All I had to do was walk up to a house and put a newspaper through a letterbox. That was my part. Finished. I said to this bloke, ‘I can’t believe the waste of money on this film. Take me. You could have got a newspaper boy on £1 a day to do what I’m doing.’ Then I said, ‘What do you do then, you lazy bugger?’ And he said, ‘I’m the producer.’” Hayes, now 89, giggles at the memory of the cheek of himself at 23.
