Devgn wowed the crowd with his high-octane action, vehicle chase sequence, and, his excellent performance. After the film's success at the box office, Devgn and Shetty collaborated for the sequel ‘Singham Returns’. Another sequel to the film ‘Singham Again’ is all set to be released.
Golmaal
Rohit Shetty's ‘Golmaal’ universe is incomplete without Ajay. Coming out of his action-hero image, Ajay shows that he can play any character with ease. In the franchise, which focuses on a bunch of stupid lads, Ajay portrays Gopal, the group's leader. The first film ‘Golmaal: Fun Unlimited’ was released in 2006 and was followed by sequels including ‘Golmaal Returns’, ‘Golmaal 3’and ‘Golmaal Again’.
Bholaa
‘Bholaa’ marked Ajay's fourth directorial film after 'U, Me aur Hum' in 2008, 'Shivaay' in 2016, and 'Runway 34' in 2022. The film also stars Deepak Dobriyal, Sanjay Mishra, Vineet Kumar, Gajraj Rao and Tabu in pivotal roles. It is an official Hindi remake of the Tamil hit 'Kaithi'.
Shaitaan
After ‘Drishyam’ and ‘Bholaa’, this is Ajay’s film in a row in which he portrays an overprotective father racing against time to save his sweetheart from a monster. While the action star's invincibility was undeniable in Bholaa, in Shaitaan, like Drishyam, he faces an intimidating villain, played by R Madhavan making the conflict far more level and hence intriguing.
