DYK Salim Khan inspired Raid 2's climax

Director Raj Kumar Gupta revealed why Salim Khan is mentioned in the 'Special Thanks' section and narrated a story that inspired the climax of Raid 2. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, the director shared that Salim Khan enjoyed the prequel, particularly the confrontation scenes between Ajay Devgn and Saurabh Shukla. While praising his direction, he suggested to Gupta a climax scene which stuck in his head. "What if in the climax, instead of being trapped in the room, your hero had gone to the balcony and thrown the money at the mob, saying - ‘Public ka paisa public ko’?” He held on to this idea, and when he was making Raid 2, he did thorough research. He found out that back in the 80s and 90s, the mob's aggression towards Income Tax Officers during raids was. So he implemented the idea in Raid 2, which turned out to be a hit.
