Ajay Devgn is gearing up for yet another sequel, and this time it is Raid 3. After a long run of remakes and follow up films, the announcement has sparked mixed reactions among fans.
Reports say Ajay Devgn and director Rajkumar Gupta will reunite for the third installment of the successful Raid franchise. The first film released in 2018 and became a major hit. The second part, released earlier this year, also performed strongly.
Raid 3 is expected to go on floors by late 2026. Early reports suggest that the scale will be much bigger, with higher emotional stakes and a stronger conflict. The team has been working on the script for months, aiming to present Ajay’s character with a tougher challenge.
Once Ajay completes his ongoing projects, pre production is likely to begin by mid 2026. The makers are maintaining secrecy, but insiders say the raid sequence itself will be designed on a larger scale than before.
However, the news has not gone down well with many fans. They feel Ajay is relying too heavily on sequels and remakes. Some say he is losing his identity as an artist by choosing safe and repetitive projects.
Fans miss the Ajay who delivered films like Tanhaji, Omkara and Company. They want him to return to original, powerful, and meaningful cinema. They also argue that the success of Raid 2 does not guarantee that Raid 3 will work.
His last film, De De Pyaar De 2, was also a remake, and many felt Ajay looked sidelined in his own movie. Fans fear that if he continues choosing sequels, the industry might begin treating him as irrelevant.
