According to a report by Pinkvilla, Ajay Devgn and director Rajkumar Gupta are preparing to collaborate once again for the third part of their popular franchise, Raid. After the success of their 2018 hit film and its equally impactful sequel earlier this year, the makers are now gearing up for Raid 3, with filming expected to start by the end of 2026.

While the makers are keeping things under wraps, it is expected that Raid 3 will surpass its previous films in terms of both scale and emotional depth. The franchise, known for its intense stories and powerful scenes, will reportedly explore a more bigger and complex plot.

A source close to the development shared, “The team has been quietly developing the script over the past few months. The conflict in the 3rd part is bigger than the earlier 2 films. The stakes are much higher, and the raid itself will be designed in a bigger way. Ajay Devgn’s character will face a situation unlike anything seen in the franchise so far.”

Pre-production is set to start in mid-2026, after Ajay Devgn completes his current commitments. Rajkumar Gupta is said to be closely working on the screenplay to maintain the film’s authentic tone, as seen in his previous works. Ajay Devgn is set to reprise his role as the brave and clever income tax officer in Raid 3, which promises an even more grander scope.
