He might miss the 2015 Diwali to entertain his fans, but Ajay Devgn is all set to dominate the silver screen on the festival, not just the next year but also in 2017.
The release date of Devgn’s upcoming directorial venture Shivaay has been preponed from January 2017 to Diwali 2016. Also, the sequel of his 2012 film Son of Sardaar has been lined up for Diwali 2017, read a statement.
Shivaay, which marks the 46-year-old actor’s return to the director’s chair after the 2008 film U Me Aur Hum, will feature him in the title role alongside 17-year-old Sayesha Saigal.
Meanwhile, Son of Sardaar 2 will see the actor back in a turbaned look.
Devgn, who has mastered almost all the genres, including action, thriller, romance and comedy, announced the film’s release date on Twitter on Wednesday.
“Sorry yaar, duniya bekar bina Son of Sardaar! Get ready for the sequel releasing Diwali 2017,” he tweeted.
