Ajay Devgn Opens Up on Corruption and His Role in Raid 2: "They Are One of Us"

As Raid 2 hits theatres on May 1, Ajay Devgn, who reprises his role as honest IRS officer Amey Patnaik, shared his views on corruption and the burden faced by public servants. In a candid interview with BookMyShow Unscripted, Ajay said, “We blame officers for corruption, but they come from the same society as us. When you point fingers, remember—they are one of us. So if they are corrupt, so are we.”

He emphasized that corruption is a reflection of the society itself, not just isolated within departments. “In any society, when corruption creeps in, some departments have it, some don’t. Some people are good, some are not—it mirrors our society,” Ajay added.

Raid 2, directed by Rajkumar Gupta, also stars Riteish Deshmukh as a corrupt politician and Vaani Kapoor in a key role. Saurabh Shukla returns in a special appearance, continuing from his role in the original Raid.
