'Raid' has been clubbed by Rani Mukerji's Hichki but beside this, the period crime thriller film is receiving a great appreciation at the box office. Director Raj Kumar Gupta looks highly impressed with the acting skills of the actors here.
He quoted "I have always believed in casting theatre actors as they bring a lot to films. I have also tried to cast actors from local places where the film is set, as it brings in flavour and authenticity. 'Raid' is set in Lucknow which has a very active theatre scene and very talented actors."
Raid is a period crime thriller film written by Ritesh Shah and directed by Raj Kumar Gupta. It casts Ajay Devgn, Ileana D'Cruz and Saurabh Shukla. The movie is inspired by the real life I-T raids that were conducted by the officers of the Indian Revenue Service in the 1980s.
