Fourteen years and 55 films is only how long Ajay Devgn could keep himself away from doing a romantic comedy. If the grapevine is to be believed, the actor is all set to reunite with his Omkara team, comprising director Vishal Bhardwaj and producer Kumar Mangat, for this special project.
A close associate of the actor says, “Ajay’s last rom-com was Pyar Toh Hona Hi Tha in 1998, that saw him serenade his then-girlfriend Kajol. While it remains to be seen if she will be a part of this film too, it will surely be interesting to see an intense and serious actor like Ajay in this genre.”
This will be a completely different ballgame for Ajay who has tasted immense success in action, drama and comedy genres. “But an out-and-out rom-com that went well with his age and also saw a good on-screen chemistry with his co-star was always waiting to happen,” adds the associate.
When Kumar Mangat was asked what names is he considering to cast opposite Ajay, the producer remained tight lipped. “It’s too early to take any names. But yes, a rom-com was always on the cards for Ajay. I’m glad it’s happening finally. We will start shooting the film at the end of this year and release it in 2012,” he says.
