WOW! After Baadshaho, Ajay Devgn and Ileana D Cruz to collaborate once again for Raj Kumar Gupta s Raid?

Ileana D Cruz is known to be a professional actor who shoots without proving to be a headache for her film s producers and actors. Till date, one has never heard of Ileana D Cruz of being accused of unprofessionalism, not even in blind items. She was recently also lauded for successfully working with female co-actresses in multiple two-heroine films without any problem. These factors definitely help in getting more work and Ileana D Cruz surely seems to be benefiting from it. Even before her film with Ajay Devgn, Baadshaho, releases she has, it seems, already been signed for the latter s next, Raid, directed by Raj Kumar Gupta.

Raid is based on the real story of one of the most high-profile income tax raids in the country, and is reportedly set in the 80s in Uttar Pradesh. Ajay Devgn essays the role of the no-nonsense IT officer. While Ileana D Cruz is set to play his love interest, it is said that her role is crucial to the narrative. According to reports, the sizzling chemistry of Ajay Devgn and Ileana D Cruz in the recently released song of Baadshaho, Mere Rashke Qamar , was much appreciated and it convinced Raid makers to sign Ileana.

Raid is written by Ritesh Shah, who has also scripted Pink, Airlift, Madaari, D-Day etc. in the past. It is produced by Abhishek Pathak, who also produced Akshay Kumar s 2013 film Special 26, which was also revolved around raids and was set in 80s, just like Raj Kumar Gupta s Raid.

In Baadshaho, Ileana D Cruz plays Gitanjali, the leader of the badasses . Last month, she was seen in Anees Bazmee s comic caper Mubarakan, co-starring Arjun Kapoor, Anil Kapoor and Athiya Shetty.
