Ahead of Raid 2's OTT release, Ileana D'Cruz reveals why she went missing from Ajay Devgn starrer

Just hours after Ajay Devgn (Gangaajal)'s Raid 2 tentative OTT release date was out, did the lead actress from the first film Ileana D'Cruz (Mubarakan) open up on why she could not be a part of the Box Office hit. For the uninitiated, Raid 2 is the second highest-grossing Bollywood film while Vicky Kaushal (Uri)'s Chhaava continues to take the top spot. Ileana played a crucial role in the first installment but could not be part of the second, and that raised questions. She has cleared all doubts during a recent Q&A session. Here's what the actress said...

Why Ileana D'Cruz could not be a part of Raid 2

Ileana D'Cruz revealed that she was offered but could not be a part of Raid 2 because her priorities changed. The actress had turned a mother when the script came her way, and despite her wanting to return to the role, she had to turn it down over her motherly instinct.

Ileana D'Cruz praises Vaani Kapoor while admitting she hasn't watched Raid 2 yet

During her Q&A session on Instagram, Ileana praised Vaani Kapoor but solely on the basis of promos she came across. The actress indirectly admitted that she has not been able to watch the movie but did find the chemistry in the promos she came across.

About Raid 2

Raj Kumar Gupta-Ajay Devgn's Raid 2 became a Box Office hit and the storyline has piqued everyone's interest. Ajay Devgn's Amay Patnaik went against Dada Bhai (Riteish Deshmukh) at his own cost, thus leaving a hookpoint every minute as the film progressed. The peak story was when Dada Bhai was going to jail and he met the original antagonist Tauji (Saurabh Shukla from Raid 1) and they shook hands. This has got people speculating that there would be a third installment, and that would be interesting to watch.
