Prankster Devgn spares Tamanna
Ajay Devgn, one of the most bankable stars of Bollywood, is the talk of town. The versatile actor who has transformed from an action hero into a comic action hero talks to DC ahead of the release of Himmatwala 2013, in which he stars opposite Tollywood actress Tamanna.
On Hyderabad
I have been to Hyderabad many times. This time, we were shooting inside the Ramoji Studios and, hence, did not get any time to gallivant around the beautiful city. I love the biryani. I am ecstatic that I have many fans here. It feels great when you go to a city and the crowd welcomes you with open arms.
On remakes of Southern films
I have been doing many remakes because these films have done very well all over the globe. I prefer doing films that entertain the audience and me, too. I will make a few more Southern remakes. However, Himmatwala is not a remake; there are few resemblances to the 1983 Himmatwala though. No one can simply remake the original.
On his best phase in B’wood
I am going through a good phase right now. But this is not new to me. When I debuted with Phool Aur Kaante, it was a stupendous hit. After that, I experienced a slack. But I kept working hard and now I am successful again. I feel hard work and luck go together. I always like to do different roles. I am doing Satyagraha now.
On sridevi’s comment
She is right in saying our Himmatwala is not a Mughal-e-Azam. I consider Phool Aur Kante as my Mughal-e-Azam. She too should consider her first film — Himmatwala — as her own Mughal-e-Azam.
On directors Rohit Shetty and Sajid Khan
Rohit thinks from the audiences’ point of view and Sajid thinks like the audience. While filming, he always sits in front of the monitor. If he doesn’t laugh while canning a comic scene, he calls for a retake.
On Tamanna
Tamanna is a good actress. She knows how to deliver the dialogues, is technically well-versed and knows to take the lights properly. Having worked in Tollywood, she has all the experience that one needs for doing a film. It was great working with her. This time, I did not play any pranks on her as Sajid was my favourite target
