Ajay Devgn to make directorial debut with ‘Shivay’

Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn will make his directorial debut with Shivay, which will feature foreign actors.

The 45-year-old actor, who will also produce and star in the action drama, said that the film will go on floors in February next year.

“I will star in the film, which is my home production. Ninety per cent of the cast in the movie is from abroad. The genre of the film is action drama. We will begin shooting in February next year,” Devgn said.

The Singham actor will be next seen in choreographer-turned-director Prabhudeva’s Action Jackson with Sonakshi Sinha. He said that he is happy to see the audience response to the movie’s trailer and songs.

“People do look for an entertaining film, but at the same time, they want to see something different. Action Jackson has that. Prabhu has given a different look to the film. The positive response to the promos and songs also reciprocate that,” he said.

On why he decided to collaborate with Prabhudeva, Devgn said he is a fan of the filmmaker and has always enjoyed watching his films such as Wanted, Rowdy Rathore and R.Rajkumar.

“I like his way of directing films. I like the poker faced comedy of his films. I am very fond of his comic timing and stylised action,” said Devgn.

Action Jackson also stars Yami Gautam and Manasvi Mamgai and will hit UAE theatres on December 4.
