Raid and its Telugu remake Mr Bachchan

Much like the original Raid, the sequel is inspired by real-life income tax operations, highlighting how Income Tax Department officers, working alongside intelligence agencies, uncover and expose white-collar crimes. The 2018 film, whose Telugu remake Mr Bachchan starring Ravi Teja bombed at the box office in 2024, had earned Rs 154 crore gross globally.

Raj Kumar Gupta films and series

The 2025 release is helmed by Raj Kumar Gupta, who also directed the first installment. In addition to these two crime thrillers, Gupta's filmography includes Aamir (2008), No One Killed Jessica (2011), Ghanchakkar (2013), and India's Most Wanted (2019). Gupta also made the 2024 medical thriller series Pill with Riteish Deshmukh, which is streaming on JioHotstar.
