It seems megastar Ajay Devgn is on movie signing spree. After giving his nod to star in “Taanaji: The Unsung Warrior”, a biopic on Tanaji Malusare, who served as one of the generals of Shivaji in the seventeenth century, the “Shivaay” actor has now joined hands with T-Series and Panorama Studios for a film titled “Raid”. Reportedly, Ajay will be seen as a tough no-nonsense Income Tax Officer from Uttar Pradesh in his new project.
To be directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, who has previously helmed movies like “Aamir” and “No One Killed Jessica”, the film is set in the 1980s Uttar Pradesh and will be jointly produced by Bhushan Kumar and Kumar Mangat.
Talking about his next directorial, Raj Kumar Gupta says, “Raid is a story that needs to be told on the big screen. I am looking forward to my collaboration with Ajay Sir, Bhushan Ji, Kumar Ji and Abhishek on this film.”
As of now, Ajay is the only actor who has been cast in the film. An intensive search is on for other actors. The film will mount the floor once the whole cast is locked.
The makers have chosen April 20, 2018, to release “Raid”.
