MUMBAI: The Ajay Devgn-starrer "Raid", which released in 2018, is about to have a sequel. The follow-up film is already under the scripting stage, and therefore the makers are considering the creation of "huge multi-film franchise inspired by the lines of 'Raid'".

The 2018 film, directed by Raj Kumar Gupta,  took inspiration from an interesting real-life income-tax raid conducted at the residence of a powerful local politician, by the income tax department under the leadership of the upright IRS officer Amay Patnaik. The raid is widely believed to be the longest ever in history, and it went on for over 18 hours.
