Raid 2 has managed to cross more than Rs. 200 crores worldwide. Apart from Ajay Devgn, audiences have also praised Riteish Deshmukh for his flawless performance as the main antagonist.
Notably, Riteish has been a very underrated actor over the years, and he has given his best in every film. While people thought that his skills were restricted to comedy, he surprised everyone when he appeared as a serial killer in Ek Villain more than ten years ago.

Despite being an amazing actor, a section of the audience believes that he does not have a big audience pull. But it should be noted that Riteish has delivered films that have easily grossed Rs. 100 crores in the past.
Before the success of Ek Villain, Riteish was a part of Housefull 2 and Grand Masti. Both films turned out to be big blockbusters despite being bashed by some critics. Riteish proved that he is a box office star with other successful films like Housefull 3, Total Dhamaal, and Housefull 4.

Riteish still has more opportunities to deliver hits, collecting Rs. 100 crores. His next is Housefull 5, releasing in the upcoming month, and considering the popularity of the franchise, audiences are expected to come in big numbers.
