Bollywood is getting ambitious. Its technicians, actors and filmmakers seem to have a shared mission. The mission is to take on Hollywood. Not only in terms of its storylines but technically too. 

The man busy doing this at the moment is actor Ajay Devgan. The star has taken on upon himself to take on Hollywood with his upcoming film TOONPOOR KA SUPERRHERO.

Ajay believes that the film is in every sense no less than any Hollywood production. Talking about his film, Ajay says, “TOONPOOR KA SUPERRHERO is technically as advanced as any other top line film in Hollywood. We have made sure that the film opens a new chapter in animation industry in India and shows the world the technical craft and expertise that bollywood has achieved over the years.”

They were last seen together on screen almost three years back in Ajay Devgn’s directorial debut, U, ME AUR HUM. Now, real life jodi, Ajay and Kajol is all set to recreate their magic in the animation flick, TOONPUR KA SUPERRHERO. Directed by Kireet Khurana, it is India’s first live action – 3D animation combination feature film.

Although they have done many films together, Kajol and Ajay are not on the same page when it comes to choosing films. Says Kajol, “We rarely agree on a script. So it has to be few movies every few years.” She goes on to say, “We actually don’t agree on most scripts. What he thinks of being very workable, I think them to be very boring. So it’s very rare that we both agree to do a film.”

So has the equation between Kajol and Ajay changed through the years? “The process is pretty much the same. As the years go by, you just get more comfortable. You get used to the way the other person works. It becomes more of a team spirit more than anything else,” asserts Kajol.

Quiz them about what made them do TOONPUR KA SUPERRHERO and Ajay says, “TOONPUR KA SUPERRHERO was a fabulous script. I would put it as a comedy film which makes you laugh throughout. In our country, till date animation films have been made which target the children. I’ve seen some with my daughter. Their humour only makes some children laugh. It doesn’t excite adults. More

Bollywood has its equal share of pompous egoistic stars who think of only themselves, and those who don’t think twice before doing a close friend a favor. Time and again actors like Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt have proved that they are willing to do anything for their industry friends.

Sanjay, or Sanju baba as he is fondly called, shares a great rapport with Ajay Devgn. After doing Ajay’s All The Best, he will now be a part of Toonpoor Ka Superhero albeit as a voiceover. Krishika Lulla’s Ajay-Kajol starrer, which is to be released in December, has a character of God and the director was waiting for the right voice to act as the narrator.

Since Ajay and Sanjay were shooting together at that time, Lulla asked if Sanjay was willing to dub for the movie and he readily agreed saying “anything for Ajay”. Interestingly Sanjay had earlier played the role of the Death-God Yamraj in Shahid Kapoor’s Vaah Life Ho To Aisi. Source

Ajay Devgn is the most versatile actor, says his wife Kajol, who also believes that the man in the real is more impressive than all his reel characters.

“I personally think Ajay is the most versatile actor that we have today. He has been successful in all genres – whether comedy or drama,” Kajol told reporters Wednesday at the music launch of their upcoming action animation movie “Toonpur ka Superhero”.

She can’t be more right as the 41-year-old proved his verstality with five releases this year which were different from each other – he was seen in two comedies “Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge” and “Golmaal 3″, political thriller “Raajneeti”, crime saga “Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai” and a film on honour killing titled “Aakrosh”.

When asked which character of Ajay impressed her the most, Kajol said: “I’m very impressed with Ajay Devgn in real life (more) than any of his on screen characters.”

Both will be seen in “Toonpur Ka Superhero”, which is produced by Krishika Lulla and Kumar Mangat Pathak. Kireet Khurana has directed the movie, which will hit the screens Dec 24. More

The powerful actor Ajay Devgn recently received his most valuable gift. The national award winning actor who made a comeback to action by playing the role of Haji Mastan with elan in ‘Once Upon A Time in Mumbai’ was delighted to share that from the many awards in his office most belonging to his father Veeru Devgn, he is extremely happy to hold this trophy marking the 100 days of ‘OUTIM’.

States a highly placed source, “Ajay was shooting in London, when he got a call from director Rohit Shetty informing him that Amitabh Bachchan would like to meet him on the sets of his ongoing game show. Ajay realised that the shooting would take a few weeks to complete and so he had no choice but to request director Priyadarshan to put the shooting of ‘Tez’ on hold, while he returned to Mumbai.”

Ajay, who is basking in the box office success of his last film ONCE UPON A TIME IN MUMBAAI, admits that Madhur’s film has shaped up extremely well.

Speaking about the film, Ajay says, “DIL TOH BACHCHA HAI JI is one of the releases I’m looking forward to eagerly.

It was reported earlier that film Aakrosh was stuck in censor problems as there were approximately 30 cuts that were requested within the film. Director Priyadarshan and producer Kumar Mangat, who were livid with the imposition, approached the Revising Committee.

Aakrosh, which stars Ajay Devgn, Akshaye Khanna, Bipasha Basu and Paresh Rawal in lead roles is based on the fictitious town of Jhanjhargaon in North India, which starts with the disappearance of three college students who go to watch the Ramleela staged in their village. A few days later, they are reported to have been killed. Ajay Devgn and Akshaye Khanna play the two CBI officers from Delhi sent to the village to investigate the mysterious deaths. That’s when they discover a thriving nexus between police and local politicians in caste-related murders.

The latest on this, is that the film has been granted an ‘A’ certificate with just a measly five cuts by the Revising Committee, a drastic improvement from the initially asked for 30. With this new certificate, Aakrosh is all set to release on October 15. Source

In the Middle-East, ‘Once Upon…’ grossed around AED 1 million (close to Rs.13 million) in Dubai in four days (as movies release on Thursdays there). More

Riding high in the success of his latest outing ‘Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai’, Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi can’t stop smiling, but more than that he is raving about his seasoned co-star Ajay Devgn in the movie.

‘He is extremely focused and has oodles of intensity on screen. It was a great learning experience working with him…I got to know so much from him,’ he added.
