Ajay Devgn on masculine characters
He said that ‘actors don’t become men’ by building a body but are defined by their attitude. He said, “In today’s world, you don’t see a dominating male personality. All are boys; you don’t see men-men. In the earlier generation, we saw men—even in my generation, from Jackie Shroff to Amitabh Bachchan, they were all men.”
He also brought up Akshay Kumar and Sunny, stating, “When Akshay Kumar was thrashing ten people or Sunny Deol was pulling out a hand pump, we would clap because we believed they could do it. In today’s generation, we don’t feel that anyone could actually do that.” Ajay stated that he wasn’t speaking about a particular person but a whole generation of actors, stating that ‘there’s been a change in upbringing’ that brought about a change in ‘attitude and approach towards life’.
In Singham Again
Ajay reprised his role as the larger-than-life cop Bajirao Singham for Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again. The film was released in theatres on November 1 and has been doing well at the box office worldwide. The third instalment in the Singham franchise also stars Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor in lead roles.
Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Tiger Shroff make up the rest of the cast, while Salman Khan made a special appearance as Chulbul Pandey from Dabangg. He will soon be seen in Naam – The Missing Identity, Raid 2, Son of Sardaar 2, De De Pyaar De 2 and Azaad.
