Ajay On Vaani Replacing Ileana: “Cast Can Change”

The trailer of Raid 2 was released on April 8, creating excitement among fans. In the first Raid movie, Ileana D’Cruz played Ajay Devgn’s wife. But in the sequel, Vaani Kapoor has stepped into that role.

At the trailer launch, Ajay Devgn spoke about the change. When asked about the new actress, he said, “Even in Hollywood, things change. Sean Connery wasn’t the only James Bond. It’s about the character, and new actors keep coming in.” His comment explained that casting changes are normal and part of filmmaking.

Vaani Kapoor also addressed the situation and denied any rivalry with Ileana. She said, “There’s no jealousy. We get along well off-screen. I just focused on playing my role honestly and followed the director’s vision. This movie shows a new side of me, and it felt refreshing.”
