Ajay Devgn – the star for all seasons
Image
In a new cover story for GQ’s February-March issue, writer Ankur Pathak meets with actor Ajay Devgn. During their conversations, Ajay Devgn talks about how he is constantly trying to improve in his next film, the judgements about his appearance, and his massive stardom despite the Khan era.

When asked about his assessment of his own successes Ajay Devgn says, “There’s no one line explanation to what works. Can you specifically point out what’s working with ‘Pathaan’?”

What others say doesn’t affect Ajay, he continuoius his ideology, “They said, oh, he’s the son of a fight master (Veeru Devgan), he won’t make it; oh, he is very average-looking, he won’t last. And yet, ‘Phool aur Kaante’ worked. What was it that did? The action, the music, the performances, or the storyline? One doesn’t know. But something clicked. Nothing works in isolation; it...

The three slaps that made Shakti Kapoor think about giving up on films
Image
Shakti Kapoor recalls after getting slapped a number of times in a scene from the 1983 movie ‘Mawaali’, he thought his career was over in the industry. He also shares that initially he wanted to become a hero in movies.

He said: “I did my first comedy film ‘Satte Pe Satta’ with Paintal. It was a really great film so when Raj Sippy approached me for a comedy role I was like my villainous roles are being appreciated then why does he want me to be a comedian?

“After that, I did a film called ‘Mawaali’. When I was giving my first shot in the film Kader Khan slapped me and I fell on the ground, then in the second shot Aruna Irani slapped me and I fell on the ground, the third time too the same happened.

“Going through this I got worried thinking that my career is finished. K. Bapaiah...

Ajay Devgn: Shivaay (2016) Review
Meet mountaineer Shivaay (Ajay Devgn), a man with nothing to lose and nothing to fear. He is one with his beloved Himalayas and apparently has some kind of magical powers that makes him able to jump and swing from mountaintops all the way down to the bottom without getting even a scratch on his body. All that is dear to him in life are those mountains. That, and his pipe. This is until all is turned around and he ends up with something that becomes more dear to him than anything: family. And that is just the thing some bad guys decide to take away from him. Big mistake.

Shivaay stars Ajay Devgn, who also directed the film. It is his second motion picture as a director and he has made it into quite the spectacle. Where the first hour of the film mostly focusses on setting up the story and the characters,...

Ajay Devgn and Abigail Eames in Shivaay (2016)
Bollywood Star Ajay Devgn on 25 Years of Challenging Industry Expectations
Ajay Devgn and Abigail Eames in Shivaay (2016)
The trailer of “Shivaay” opens to Ajay Devgn’s trademark piercing gaze, lingering there for a moment before lurching into three minutes of continuous movement as he hurtles, untethered, through Himalayan avalanches and between cartwheeling vehicles. His distinctive baritone cuts through the visuals as he narrates “shlokas” (verses) from Vedic Hindu scriptures describing the transformative capabilities of the deity Shiva, the destroyer of evil and the inspiration for the film’s lead character.

Despite some of these reference points, “’Shivaay’ is not a religious or mythological movie,” Devgn told press during a recent trip to New York, the first of four cities in a U.S-wide promotional tour for the October 28 release, which marks his second as a director. “However, it is firmly based in the idea of faith, and the main character draws heavily from Lord Shiva, both in terms of his spirituality and his superpowers.”

The result is unmistakably Indian,...

Singham aka Ajay Devgn mesmerized by Wild Cats since childhood
Looks like superstar and acting maestro Ajay Devgn’s aka Singham‘s brave and fearless attitude goes back all the way to his childhood!!

The Bollywood superstar had accompanied his father, action-director Veeru Devgan, to the Big B film Mr Natwarlal‘s set and the entire unit couldn’t keep him away from a leopard cub on the sets. Even during his childhood years and long before he decided to become an actor, he was always drawn to wild cats, looking at this photograph!

We guess this memorable incident must have sparked off the actor’s concern towards the conservation of tigers and the preservation of endangered cat species which is common knowledge in the industry.

The actor is popularly called Singham wherever he goes specially by kids, thanks to the cult status the 2011 blockbuster hit had achieved post its release. With Singham Returns coming up soon for release, we...

Ajays two horse stunt in Son Of Sardar
Ajay Devgn
There is no doubt about the fact that Ajay Devgn is being regarded as one of the leading action stars in Bollywood today. How can we forget his debut film Phool Aur Kaante, in which he appeared on screen standing on two moving bikes? He repeated the same stunt in Golmaal Returns and Golmaal 3 on cars. And now, for his underproduction film Son Of Sardar, Ajay has done it again. This time however, Ajay will be seen riding two horses. With the stunt already making news, we wonder how Ajay pulls off such dare devil stunts... only to be reminded that he is after all the son of noted fight master Veeru Devgan. Son Of Sardar, which is being directed by Ashwini Dhir, stars Sanjay Dutt, Sonakshi Sinha, Juhi Chawla and Arjan Bajwa apart from Ajay, and is scheduled for release in November this year.
