INTERVIEW


made at his age too.
“I was comfortable with
it. Otherwise I’d have
asked them to change the
scenes,” he smiles.
Through the years,
Ajay’s consistency at
the box-office has been
commendable. His last
few films including Raj
Kumar Gupta’s Raid, based
on a real-life income tax
officer and Indra Kumar’s
Total Dhamaal, a whacky
comedy, were runaway
hits. “Quality and content
is supreme,” he insists
adding, “We’re now
conscious of good scripts.
Earlier, even when we did
eight films... woh filmein
chal jaati thi. Now the
audiences don’t accept just
about anything. So, we’re
concentrating on working
in one film at a time and
creating a quality product.”
It was alleged that friend
Rohit Shetty had moved
on to Ranveer Singh
(Simmba) and Akshay
Kumar (Sooryavanshi).
But Ajay has a line-up
with the hit director. “No
one has moved on. We’re
working together. I was
part of Simmba. I’m part
of Sooryavanshi. Rohit
and I’ll be working on the
Singham and Golmaal
franchises again,” he
informs.
