Ajay Devgn goes all praise for Taanaji co-star Saif Ali Khan

With Taanaji: The Unsung Warrior, superstar Ajay Devgn is collaborating with Saif Ali Khan after a huge gap of 13 years. But nothing much seems to have changed between the two stars over the years. They still have huge admiration for each other.

Taanaji: The Unsung Warrior, which is currently being shot in Mumbai, is a war period drama and stars an ensemble cast. Ajay plays the title role in the movie, while Saif Ali Khan will be seen playing the lead antagonist.


Talking about the film and his decision of casting Saif as an antagonist, Ajay said, “It is an exciting film right at the script level and demanded performers like them. We needed someone like Saif, as no one better than him to justify the character in the film. You don’t cast big actors just for the sake of it; there has to be a solid reason. We needed a lot of experience on the sets.”

The superstar added, “It’s a big budget film, and it is different because it demands a certain level of scale and drama. It’s an ambitious film for me, and extremely difficult to pull off”.

Directed by Om Raut, Taanaji: The Unsung Warrior is slated to release on 22nd November, 2019.

Yash says ‘men and women see life differently’ as 'Toxic' brings a new perspective to storytelling

Highlights

  • Yash says Geethu Mohandas brought a layered and different perspective to Toxic
  • The actor resisted repeating the formula behind K.G.F: Chapter 2
  • Toxic is being developed with a global outlook while remaining rooted in Indian storytelling

Four years after the success of K.G.F: Chapter 2, Yash is returning with Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups, but not in the way many expected. Instead of following a familiar path after one of India’s biggest box-office hits, the actor says he deliberately moved away from projects that felt designed to recreate past success. For Yash, Toxic became an opportunity to explore new ideas, challenge himself creatively and think about Indian cinema on a wider stage.

Moving away from formula and playing safe

Yash revealed that after K.G.F: Chapter 2, several ideas came his way that appeared to follow an expected pattern. Rather than capitalising on what had already worked, he was drawn to stories that demanded more thought and experimentation. That eventually led him to Geethu Mohandas and Toxic. While the film carries the visual language of a gangster drama, Yash explained that it also explores emotional complexity, moral ambiguity and darker aspects of human behaviour.
