Ajay Devgn has proven to be good in playing out the ‘cop’ roles. Be it the serious ones in Zameer or Gangajal or the more quirked up in Singham series, he has been loved in those roles. Once again audiences will be treated to see him in a similar role again in his upcoming film Raid. The first look of the film was revealed which shows Ajay sitting in the center surrounded by piles of cash, probably black money. The film is directed by Raj Kumar Gupta and has Ileana D’Cruz as well. The trailer of the film is set to release today at 11.30 AM. The official handle of T-series unveiled the poster.

The movie has a plot that is set in the 80s and is based on the famous income tax raid that happened in Uttar Pradesh. Many people are still not aware of this. Ajay plays the role of an IT officer in this film. We have seen Ajay play the badass guy who is not afraid of anyone and loves taking on corrupt people. So this film will just essay his role more perfectly, can we say? The film also stars Saurabh Shukla in an important role. This is also the second time we will see Ajay Devgn and Ileana D’Cruz paired up together after the film Badshaho. Although that film did not do too well at the box-office, the chemistry between the two was appreciated. Not much is known about Ileana’s role in this one yet. But the trailer will give an idea we assume.

Director Raj Kumar Gupta is known to make film with a touch of realism to it so we are expecting Raid to give more insights into the case of the 80s. His last film Ghanchakkar did not cash in at the box-office, so let’s see if Raid does it for him. The film is set to release on March 16, 2018.
