RAID 2 trailer launch saw Ajay Devgn and Vaani Kapoor, but Riteish Deshmukh was absent, which is why

The event was attended by Ajay Devgn, Vaani Kapoor, Saurabh Shukla and other actors, but Riteish Deshmukh was particularly absent.
The trailer for Ajay Devgn’s crime thriller RAID 2 was launched in Mumbai, with the actor reprimanding his role as fearless IRS official Amay Patnaik. The trailer shows Amay’s battle with corruption, this time a cruel politician played by Riteish Deshmukh. The event was attended by Ajay Devgn, Vaani Kapoor, Saurabh Shukla and other actors, but Riteish Deshmukh was particularly absent.
Riteish’s absence at the RAID 2 trailer launch attracted fans’ curiosity, but the reason for his significant absence was very remarkable. According to sources close to the actor, Riteish is currently focusing on directing his ambitious historical drama Raja Shivaji, a passion project that demonstrates his multifaceted talent as an actor, producer and director.

The historical drama Raja Shivaji tells the story of the iconic Maratha warrior, chhatrapati shivaji maharaj. The film was produced by Riteish’s Home Banner Mumbai Film Company, in collaboration with Jio Studios.
Riteish’s schedule for Raja Shivaji’s packed shots made it impossible for him to participate in the launch of the RAID 2 trailer, although he really longed to be there. However, he extended his good wishes to the entire team and expressed his excitement to see how the audience reacted to the trailer. “Riteish cannot get into the launch of the RAID 2 trailer due to his directorial commitment and the flashy shooting schedule, although he really hopes to be there,” the source added.
RAID 2 is a panoramic studio work proposed by Gulshan Kumar and the T series. The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Kumar Mangat Pathak, Abhishek Pathak and Krishan Kumar and directed by Raj Kumar Gupta. The film, scheduled to release on May 1, is a sequel to the 2018 crime thriller Raid, inspired by the real tax raids of the 1980s and starring Ajay Devgn, Ileana D’Cruz and Saurabh Shukla.
