Riteish Deshmukh celebrates Raid 2's success as it crosses Rs 100 crore mark, to be seen next in Raja Shivaji

Another successful formula has been Deshmukh and Ajay Devgn's long-running on-screen partnership.

Riteish Deshmukh is celebrating the success of his most recent movie, Raid 2, which has made over Rs 112 crore at the box office and cemented his status as an actor with a strong track record. He co-stars with Ajay Devgn in the movie, which has received favourable reviews from viewers and greatly aided in its box office success.

A number of Bollywood hits, including Total Dhamaal, the Housefull series, Grand Masti, and Ek Villain, all of which surpassed the Rs 112 crore mark, had already brought Deshmukh significant success prior to Raid 2. He has become a sought-after star in financially successful films due to his ability to appeal to a wide variety of audiences.

Another successful formula has been Deshmukh and Ajay Devgn's long-running on-screen partnership. Their past collaborations, including the thriller Cash and the comedy Masti, have been well received, and their friendship frequently helped their films succeed.

Riteish has backed a number of popular Marathi films through his company, Mumbai Film Company, in addition to his acting career.

His directorial debut, Ved (2022), not only marked his entry into direction but also showcased his multi-faceted talents as he directed, produced, and starred in the project.

Deshmukh is preparing for his next big project, Raja Shivaji, a cinematic portrayal of the life of Maratha warrior Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, which is highly anticipated. He also has Housefull 5, a comedy film with an ensemble cast, set for release on June 6, 2025.
