When asked about Vaani Kapoor replacing Ileana D'cruz in 'Raid 2', Ajay Devgn said, "You see it in a lot of Hollywood films as well." "Sean Connery is not the only James Bond. It's the character you follow, and then new people keep coming in," said Ajay. Vaani is playing Ajay's wife, which was originally played by Ileana in 'Raid'.
