In an interview with DNA, Ajay Devgn praised his director Rajkumar Gupta and said: "With Raid, I thought Raj Kumar can pull it off, seeing what he has done earlier with Aamir and No One Killed Jessica. Once I started shooting this film, I realised he is very good."

Raid is a period drama set in the early 1980s with Lucknow as the background. It revolves around a true incident of the longest raid in history.
