Ajay Devgn is one actor who has always let his work do all the talking.
The man with his simple looks yet intense screen presence, has time and again proved that box office success is not just about good looks and brawn but about smart thinking, understanding the pulse of the audience and at the end of the day believing in yourself! No wonder the man is respected and remembered for his memorable bike stunt in his debut film to intense dramas, comic timing to childlike innocence and romance to action-packed thrills!
Back-to-back movies, a successful run in the box office through the whole of last year, production and endorsements have kept the national award winning actor on his toes for a while now.
The actor was recently seen shooting for an inner wear commercial and looked absolutely comfortable in the skin of the character, a quality that can be seen across his work.
With this endorsement, Ajay Devgn joins the legendary list of tinsel town's macho men like Dharamendra, Sunny Deol etc, who have been synonymous with street smart attitude, style, sophistication, romance all encompassed into one.
With Bol Bachchan, Rascals and Golmaal 4 lined up for release, Ajay's fans simply can't stop asking for more!
With 'Singham' being announced a hit, actor Ajay Devgn is an actor to reckon with. Ajay's 'Golmaal 3' was successful at the BO, too, and Ajay Devgn has become one of the most dependable actors around.
The actor, it is said, has raised his fees post 'Singham' and has become one of the most expensive actors in the film industry. "He is in the A-League," says a trade source, "it's no wonder he has increased his price; he is dependable and is one of the few actors on a success trail."
His versatality has made him an all-rounder of sorts, and now we hear that Devgn, who is not only an actor but also a producer and has tried his hands at direction, has entered into a business deal with Vashu Bhagnani.
Ajay, apparently, has signed a few films contract with Bhagnani, and will also indulge in profit sharing. The first movie to be made under this deal is a film to be directed by Sajid Khan. Sajid is currently busy with 'Housefull 2', and will begin the project only once he has completed the sequel to 'Housefull'.
Ajay, too, is busy shooting for 'Tezz' while the shooting for his movie 'Rascals' has come to an end.
PICS - Catch the moustache brigade - Salman Khan, Ajay Devgan, Saif Ali Khan, Aamir Khan, Abhay Deol, Sanjay Dutt and Shahrukh Khan

What is common between Chulbul Pandey (Salman Khan) from Dabangg and Bajirao Singham (Ajay Devgan) from Singham; and what will be common among Aamir Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Abhay Deol and Sanjay Dutt?
Well, yes, doubtlessly all of them are male actors (this is the lamest commonality one could have thought of, and if you haven’t, then this is perhaps the lamest discussion we are having); and they are sporting moustaches for their movies.
It is said that “A man without a mustache is like a cup of tea without sugar”, and it looks like the Bollywood actors have taken this quote too seriously and moustache is the new success charm.
After Salman Khan’s moustached Chulbul Pandey created waves, this time it’s Ajay Devgan’s Bajirao Singham who is breaking box office records! However, this is not the first time that a moustached character has tasted success at the marquee. Shahrukh Khan’s Surinder Sahni in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi has witnessed the same fate!
Though Aamir Khan’s Mangal Pandey and Saif Ali Khan’s Tashan were duds at the box office, it looks like they have decided to try their luck again by growing moustaches for their upcoming movies.
Abhay Deol, who is hardly seen experimenting with his looks (no six packs and no jazzy hairstyles), too has joined the moustache brigade with Dibakar Banarjee’s film Shanghai.
Though Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan have won applause and raked in collections, will Saif Ali Khan, Abhay Deol and Aamir Khan, too, hit the jackpot? What do you think? Will growing a moustache help them or is it mooch ado about nothing?
Shahid Kapoor sheds his cute boy tag by growing a moustache in dad’s upcoming film Mausam.
Sanjay has always sported different styles of beards. From his cop role in Mission Kashmir to Mussa Bhai in Luck, Sanjay has carried off all his diverse looks pretty well! Chatur Singh Two Star looks no different!
Be it his stylish moustache in Tashan or his desi moustache in Aarakshan, Saif believes in experimenting.
A rock solid police officer in Singham. Jiski moustache mein hai dum, woh fakht Ajay Devgan.
His Dabangg moustached look has earned him loads of compliments and other stars have started following suit.

As per tabloids, Ashwini Dheer’s imminent project ‘SOS-Son Of Sardar’, starring Ajay and Sonakshi as the lead pair, is a remake of the Telugu slapstick ‘Maryada Ramanna’.
The film is basically a romantic drama with a high dose of action and thus, besides romancing Sonakshi, the macho hunk Ajay will also be seen delivering some outstanding action-feats in it.
The forthcoming flick ‘SOS-Son Of Sardar’, helmed by Ashwini Dheer, will be produced by actor Ajay Devgan and filmmaker NR Pachisia.
Talking about the lead stars of his next, NR Pachisia told Mumbai Mirror, "It is a fresh pairing. Both Ajay and Sonakshi are intense actors and they will surely create magic on screen.
"Considering it is an action packed love story, we decided to cast a fresh face opposite Ajay. We try to do different things with our projects every time in terms of casting. I am now looking forward to start the film early next year."
Sonakshi was not the first choice for ‘SOS-Son Of Sardar’
As Ajay and Sonakshi will be pairing-up for the first time, fans might be eagerly awaiting to catch the duo’s chemistry on-screen.
As Ajay and Sonakshi will be pairing-up for the first time, fans might be eagerly awaiting to catch the duo’s chemistry on-screen.
However, it’s learnt that Sonakshi was not the first choice for SOS. At the outset, Ajay’s ‘Golmaal 3’ co-star Kareena Kapoor was approached for Ashwini Dheer’s venture.
But, as Bebo had a packed date-dairy, she had no other option but to turn down the Ajay-starrer SOS.
Kareena’s hectic to-do list includes Ekta Kapoor’s ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbai’ sequel, which is to go on floors from Jan. 2012, and her plans to walk down the aisle with beau Saif in Feb next year.
Title ‘SOS-Son Of Sardar’ registered under Akshay’s banner
Buzz has it that ‘SOS-Son Of Sardar’, the title of the Ajay-Sonakshi starrer imminent movie, has already been registered under Akshay Kumar’s banner Hari Om Entertainment.
While Ajay has already announced the title of his film, Akshay has also finalized the script for his film with the same title.
Well, who will be giving up the title of their film or in other words who will be changing the title of their film, is a much-talked about affair in the B-town these days.
Producer NR Pachisia, as quoted in TOI, said, "I am not aware of this conflict. I'll have to check it out. But I don't to hurt Akshay's sentiments as we are all part of the same industry and we are all family."

Starring Ajay Devgn, Prakash Raj, Kajal AggarwalDirected by Rohit Shetty
Rating: ** ½
This cop is a killer. He implements the laws applicable to the khaki-vardi with a passion that makes corruption seem like a mosquito that a human repellant can exterminate. His ways are unconventional. And he seethes and fumes when faced with diabolic corruption.
Last we saw, it was Rajeev Khandelwal playing the anti-establishment cop’s role in the brilliant Shaitaan. This time it’s a huge star getting into khakee. Meet Ajay Devgn as Bajirao Singham an honest-to-goodness cop who believes he has been given the law-enforcer’s job and he better take it seriously.
Hurling through a cavalcade of regionally-flush references Singham is the kind of rustic boorish kinetic action thriller where a cleaner social order is seen to be brought about by the power of the fist. Give or take a gun. Or a Devgn.
Devgn playing the one-man army invests the clichéd role with a kind of cultural specificity which allows him the leeway to get verbally regional without losing a pan-India flavour. That’s the magic of mass entertainment cinema that this film celebrates with panoramic verve.
We don’t need to comprehend Marathi to get the powerful subtexts of Devgan’s virulent attack on corruption. Fortunately Devgn isn’t the kind of actor who needs to scream to make himself heard. He effectually offsets Prakash Raj’s theatrical villainy bordering on bigtime hamming.
It is significant that the entire cast comprises Marathi actors, giving to the frenetic rustic proceedings a sense of arrogant chauvinism. Only the villain palayed by Prakash Raj is a South Indian actor of tremendous histrionic range. Give him anything to do. And he does with impassioned concentration.
A lot of the lines that the politician-villain is compelled to utter bordered on self-parody. Chunks of the action and drama are cannibalized from the Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘angry’ series , without the bridled indignance of the central character.
Yes, Singham is frustrated and embittered by the corruption that’s crept into the socio-political system. But he lacks the vitality to transmute the cop’s impotent rage into a potent cinematic language. e don’t feel for his concern for a clean social order. We just wonder whom he will thrash next, and how.
Partly, it is to do with the kind of shallowness that Singham’s love interest portrays. Jaya Bhaduri in Zanjeer and Smita Patil in Ardh Satya made a brief but telling impact on the way the enraged hero looked at the seedy world. Newcomer Kajal Aggarwal is a bundle of shallow take-away expressions, the cinematic equivalent of a home-delivered pizza, without the spicy toppings.
What sustains the narrative’s velocity is Devgn’s uncalculated moves as an action hero. He brings a kind of reckless inevitability into every blow that he delivers on the goons. There are some entertaining supporting performances, Sachin Khedeker as the heroin’e cellphone-fixated father is a hoot.
In all fairness the action sequences (Jai Singh Nijjar) are entertaining and humorous. The fights don’t take themselves seriously.
However the homilies on a need for integrity in the civil services seem like unwanted concessions to self-importance in a film that seems to revel in a kind of free-floating message on how to stay clean in a cesspool of corruption. Yup, Rohit Shetty packs in a punch.
You can’t but smile at the infinite pleasure which the director partakes from the age-old language of commercial Hindi cinema in all its flamboyant glory.
Singham is a cops film with balls.
Ajay Devgn, who is currently in Bangkok shooting for Sanjay Dutt's Rascals wishes he could be here to see how the audiences are reacting to his film Singham.
It has been learnt that the actor, who returned to action after eight years with this movie, will continue to sport his beefcake look even for his own productions Bol Bachchan by Rohit Shetty and Ashwini Dheer's Hindi remake of Telugu hit Maryada Ramanna, besides Priyadarshan's Tezz.
Ajay plays a wrestler in BB, which he starts shooting with Abhishek Bachchan, late August. He says, "Yes, there are a couple of action sequences, but they falls more in the genre of Golmaal and All The Best as it is a comedy film."
About his remake of Maryada Ramanna, the bent towards action is less and romance is more. He says, "It's basically a romantic comedy and it's being re-scripted for the wider Hindi film audience."
As for Tezz, the actor maintains, "It's a different kind of movie, so is the treatment of action in it. I hope the audiences like the thrills in this film."
Needless to say, he's very pleased with the response his cop act is evoking from the masses. Trade experts peg the first three-day India collections of Singham, which cost Rs 42 crore to make, at Rs 31 crore.

The actress does not feel insecure about Ajay stealing the show in the promos of 'Singham' and says that she had a great time working with the actor.
When asked whether Ajay's presence makes her insecure about her visibility in the film, Kajal says, "Its not the amount of screen space that I have but it is the quality of work that I deliver.
Yes, its an Ajay Devgn film but I will stand out with my performance. I am sure after watching the film people won't stop loving me."
Directed by Rohit Shetty, 'Singham', is an action film. On her experience of working with Ajay, the actress says, "Its better for me to act with Ajay as acting is second nature to him. We have rehearsed together and he is very co-operative.
He does not need rehearsals he gave me very important tips." 'Singham', a remake of 2010 Tamil film of the same name, stars Ajay and Kajal in lead roles.
After having made a name for herself down South, Kajal, says though the reach of Hindi cinema is wider but the south film industry is now going beyond boundaries.
"The reach is bigger in Hindi cinema. The reach is definitely wider in Hindi cinema. But now-a-days south regional cinema is reaching lot of places. Both the industries are equally professional, very punctual, have got good technique, good artists, good stories and scripts, " Kajal said.
"For example my movie 'Magadheera' has been watched by lot of non-Telugu people. I do believe regional barriers are slowly and steadly disappearing which is a very good thing for us, " she said.
Talking about trends in the film industry, Kajal says, "I have noticed is lot of technicians like art directors, choreographers, actress are being shared pan-India. Like lot of south technicians are working for Hindi cinema and vice-versa.
Even actresses and actor are now working or doing films in different languages. I do believe that regional barriers are disappearing now and its now becoming one big Indian industry."
The Mumbai-based actress had reportedly stirred up controversy down South when in an interview she said she does not consider herself as a south Indian actress, as she is Punjabi by birth.
Following which Tamil and Telugu filmmakers issued statements saying they will ban the actress from working in south Indian films.
"I feel very proud that I am a South Indian actress. That industry has given me name, fame and love. I have never said I am not a south Indian actress...I have done 21 movies over there.
I do enjoy a certain position over there which is fabulous and why will I say that, " Kajal said. 'Singham' is all set to hit cinema houses on July 22.
Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty recreate fight scenes from Amar Akbar Anthony and Zanjeer, complete with the dialogues in the forthcoming film Singham.
Rohit Shetty who paid a tribute to the 70s in his last, Golmaal 3 with Mithun Chakraborty’s character is all set to take his 70’s inspiration a step further in his next.
The Ajay Devgn—Kajal Aggarwal starrer Singham, Shetty has not just drawn inspiration but entire fight sequences from 70’s blockbusters Amar Akbar Anthony and Zanjeer.

| This scene from Singham (above) is inspired by the famous Vinod Khanna-Amitabh Bachchan fight sequence in Amar Akbar Anthony (below) |
The scene has Vinod Khanna unbuttoning his police uniform to beat up Amitabh. In Singham, Ajay Devgn who plays a cop, does the same to Ravi Beasant. In fact, the dialogue between Ajay and Ravi are similar to the ones between Vinod and Amitabh.”
And that’s not all. “There is a scene similar to a scene from the 1973 hit Zanjeer as well. The scene where Pran walks into a police station and tries to sit on a chair, which Amitabh Bachchan kicks away and says, ‘Jab tak baithne ko kahaa na jaaye, tab tak chup chaap khade raho,’ has been re-created in Singham. In this film, the scene has been picturised on Ajay Devgn and Marathi actor Ashok Samarth,” added the source.
Seems like Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn are all set to recreate the 70s magic on screen with Singham. “Rohit wanted to pay a tribute to the 70’s and also to the original angry young man of Indian cinema, Mr Amitabh Bachchan,” said the source.
