The Most Consistent Actor Of Hindi Movie Industry, Ajay Devgan

By Joseph Pinto


20 years of Ajay Devgan in Hindi film industry has been very smooth and he has been able to make a lot of people his fans. After the last years' series of super hits, he has been referred to as the most dependable actor. The fact has been strengthened by the news that he has sold the rights of upcoming movie Singham for more than Rs twelve crore.

This rate at which the rights is sold is higher than that of Dabangg, starring Salman Khan. He could deliver good performance in successful movies like Golmaal 3, Raajneeti, Athithi Tum Kab Jaoge and Once Upon a Time in Mumbai. With 'Singham', Devgan and Rohit Shetty come with each other after 'Golmaal 3'.

Born as Vishal Devgan, he didn't find it tough to enter the film arena. His sibling Anil is a filmmaker and father Veeru Devgan is an action master. He made his debut with 'Phool aur Kaante' in 1991, earning him the Filmfare award for Best Debutante. Through the decade, he acted in several commercially successful films like 'Ishq', 'Ek Hi Rasta', 'Pyar to Hona Hi Tha' and the popular, 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam'. He is the recipient of National Awards for the movie Zakhm (Mahesh Bhatt) in 1999 and for Legend of Bhagat Singh in 2003. He married Kajol in 1999.

His surname has been changed recently. His film career is believed to be successful after renaming. It could be a coincidence that al most all his films last year have been a hit and made him look up to as a reliable actor.

Ramesh Sippy, who purchased the rights for 'Singham' remarked that Ajay is one of the few actors in Hindi Cinema who refuses to be typecast and that he keeps experimenting with new genres of movies. All through his career, Ajay Devgan has been offering entertaining movies for his audience consistently. Ramesh Sippy has also added that his experimentation with comedy genre in movies like Golmaal, Athithi Tum Kab Jaoge and recently released Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji is a proof that he can manage any kind of role.

Besides putting effort in cinema, Ajay is also involved in many other projects. News says that he is thinking to put his money in a solar power project in Gujarat. Roha Group of Mumbai is said to have partnered with Ajay in the 25mw solar project, which is calculated to come around Rs 400 crore.
