Ajay Devgan to play the lead in a war based movie

Lahore, 19th June: Bollywood star Ajay Devgan is all set to play a lead role in the movie, Bhuj, The Pride of India based on the Indo-Pak War.

According to Baaghi TV, the Bollywood superstar is making a comeback in the movies post COVID-19 lockdown, as India is slowly raising its restrictions.

As per the reports from New18 from India, Ajay Devgn is eager to report to the set of Bhuj: The Pride of India. The Abhishek Dudhaiya-directed war drama sees him in the dual role of leading man and action director for some scenes.

As reported by Mid-Day, Devgan choreographed two fight sequences featuring Sanjay Dutt and him, after South stunt coordinator Peter Hein was unavailable. The fight scenes were shooted only a few days before the lockdown was announced.

Set during the 1971 Indo-Pakistan war, the ensemble drama has Ajay playing the role of Indian Air Force (IAF) squadron leader Vijay Karnik, who reconstructed the IAF airbase in Bhuj with the help of 300 local women.

A source close to the film revealed, “The sequences come at a crucial juncture in the narrative. In the first set-piece, Ajay is seen attempting hand-to-hand combat as he fights the spies sent by the Pakistani army. The other segment, an outdoor shoot, has Sanjay Dutt and Sharad Kelkar take on the baddies.”

The team has about a week’s shoot left, including a two-day stint with Ajay. The film’s spokesperson confirmed the news, stating, “It is true that Ajay designed the action sequence for the movie.”

The movie is set to be released at a time when India is at a rivalry with its neighboring countries, China and Pakistan, both of which are close friends and stand united against their common enemy. The movie based on the Indo-Pak war will certainly create a bad taste between Pakistan and India.
