The
Mumbai
media
was
in
for
entertainment
and
celebration
on
Tuesday
evening,
as
the
makers
of
the
Ajay
Devgn-starrer

Raid
2
 launched
the
film’s
party
anthem

Money
Money
 on
a
cruise.

The
RoRo
ferry
is
not
new
for
Mumbaikars,
but
it
lent
itself
for
a
unique
setting,
as
it
took
the
media
junket
on
a
round
trip
from
Mumbai
to
the
Mandwa
Jetty
near
Alibaug. 

The
smiling
faces
of
the
staff
welcomed
everyone
aboard
the
fancy
boat,
which
was
stationed
at
Ferry
Wharf
AKA
Bhau
Cha
Dhakka
at
Dockyard
Road
(the
Eastern
seafront
of
the
city).

The
deck
meant
for
the
vehicles
was
used
as
the
main
event
area.

Chairs
were
laid
out
in
front
of
a
makeshift
stage
surrounded
by
cut-outs
of

Raid
2

posters.

A
large
digital
display
had
Ajay
Devgn,
Honey
Singh
and
Jacqueline
Fernandez
in
their

Money
Money

avatars
looking
straight
at
you.

In
tune
with
the
song’s
casino
setting,
a
gambling
den
was
put
up
with
games
like
blackjack,
roulette
and
baccarat
for
visitors
to
try
their
luck.

“We
should
have
more
such
events.
This
is

alag

(different)
level,”
I
overheard
someone
saying.

Yes,
I
agreed.

As
the
sun
started
setting
and
the
coastal
views
were
getting
blurry,
a
cool
breeze
brought
some
respite
from
the
Mumbai
summer.


Raid
2

song’s

Money
Money

song
was
blasted
from the
speakers
on
loop.
The
lyrics

Maje
ki
shuruat
ho
jaaye,
crazy
ye
raat
ho
jaaye
— 
were
SO
Honey
Singh
and
foreshadowing
the
events
to
follow,
perhaps?

Ajay
Devgn
and
Honey
Singh
emerged
on
the
stage.

The
actor
hailed

Money
Money

as
a
‘mind-blowing
song’
and
called
Honey
Singh
‘the
OG’.

“The
entire
credit
for
this
song
goes
to
Honey.
He
has
done
a
fantastic
job,”
Ajay
said.


Money
Money

marks
Honey’s
second
collaboration
with
Ajay
after
over
a
decade.
The
duo
previously
came
together
for
the
promotional
song

Aata
Majhi
Satakli

from
Rohit
Shetty’s
2014
actioner

Singham
Returns
.

At
the
event,
Honey
recalled
the
incident
which
made
him
a
‘bigger
fan’
of
Ajay’s.

“I
was
four
hours
late
for
the
shoot
of

Aata
Majhi
Satakli
.
I
thought
I
would
be
scolded
but
Ajay
sir
met
me
warmly.
He
sat
with
me
for
some
time
and
was
very
cool.
After
that,
I
became
an
even
bigger
fan
of
his,”
Honey
said.

While
Ajay
was
mostly
aloof,
like
he
usually
is,
Honey
Singh
vibed
with
the
audience.

moves
with

bringing
on
the
cheers.
