The trailer of Ajay Devgn's next film, titled 'Raid' is out! Set in the 80s, 'Raid' is based on one of the most high profile raids the country has ever known. Ajay Devgn plays Amay Patnaik- a Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax set in the backdrop of Lucknow. He is loyal, aggressive and will go to any extent to extract the black money from Tauji, (played by Saurabh Shukla) a powerful man of Lucknow. We have mostly seen him doing comic roles but in 'Raid' one gets to see the darker shade of the actor, who plays the antagonist in the film.
Will Tauji manage to stop the raid or will Amay Patnaik bring him down?
