Ajay Devgan back into action with Rohit Shetty’s ‘Singham’

Ajay Devgan made his debut in Bollywood as an action star in ‘Phool Aur Kaante’ and gave quite a few superhits in action films. However, slowly he shifted his genre and switched over to excel in comedies with box office hits like Golmaal series, Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge? and Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji.

Now, after eight years, Devgan is back into action with the role of a rural cop in Rohit Shetty’s ‘Singham’ which promises to be a raw hardcore action packed drama.

“It’s a film about men. Singham will mark the return of hardcore raw action to the cinemas with a lot of dialogue-baazi and machismo. It should sock a punch; it will connect to the man on the street because of its simple narrative and terrific action,” reveals Devgan.

Devgan feels that times may have changed but action remain the same as ever. “We believe that it is not changing. I don’t think so. Look at the last 3-4 films that have released. Dabbang and Ghajini action is the same we used to do before 15 years. Even Wanted. I think we are trying to be over intelligent by trying to make different films. All the audience wants is entertainment. Look at Robot. It’s entertainment. Singham is hardcore entertainment; it has humor, drama and hardcore action.”

However, personally he prefers comedy to action and some of his all time favorites are classics like are Golmaal (the classic), Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron and Chupke Chupke.
