At the trailer launch of Raid 2, Ajay Devgn was mentioned that he is one of the few actors who have had success with franchise films post Covid with Drishyam 2 and Singham Again. When asked how he navigates going about such projects, he said, “Right now, we are still struggling. We are not sure what the audience would come in theatres for and what not. But we think we have an idea of how the audience has evolved and changed.”

The actor added, “During the pandemic, a lot of international exposure [of content] happened due to OTT. So, we are adapting to it and also changing. But nobody is very sure as of yet. We are all still struggling but trying to figure things out.”
