More about Raid

Raid also starred Saurabh Shukla and Ileana D’Cruz. It was based on a real-life raid conducted by the officers of the Income Tax Department in the 1980s. Saurabh Shukla played a corrupt MP who had hid his black money in places as discrete as the ceiling, walls, and a specially constructed pillar. Ileana played Ajay's wife in the film. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's song Sanu Ek Pal Chain from the film became quite popular.
