The Most Consistent Actor Of Hindi Movie Industry, Ajay Devgan

By Kevin Fernandez


Twenty years of Ajay Devgan in Hindi movie industry has been quite smooth and he has been able to make a lot of people his fans. After the last years' series of super hits, he has been voted as the most bankable actor. This has been further strengthened by the news that lately the rights for his latest film 'Singham' have been traded for more than a huge amount of Rs 12 crore.

This rate at which it is traded is higher than that of Dabangg, starring Salman Khan. Last year was successful for Ajay Devgan's career as almost all of his movies such as Golmaal 3, Once Upon a Time in Mumbai, Athithi Tum Kab Jaoge and Raajneeti were commercial hits. With 'Singham', Rohit Shetty and Devgan work together after 'Golmaal 3'.

Born Vishal Devgan, debuting in the movie industry was not too difficult a job for him. His father Veeru Devgan, was a stunt choreographer and his brother, Anil, is a director on his own right. He entered the industry with 'Phool aur Kaante' (1991), earning him the Best Debutant Award in Filmfare Awards. That decade saw several super hit films from Ajay Devgan including Pyar to Hona Hi Tha, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Ishq and Ek Hi Rasta. He was bestowed with National Awards two times - the 1st one for the film Zakhm (1991) and the second one for the film Legend of Bhagat Singh (2003). His marriage with Kajol was in 1999.

Lately, He changed his last name by dropping a letter from it. His career is thought to be successful after renaming. It can be a coincidence that most of his films last year have been a hit and made him look up to as a reliable actor.

It was commented by Ramesh Sippy (owns the Singham rights) that Ajay would be one actor in Hindi film industry who will never select similar characters and keeps on looking out for varied challenges and chances. All through his film career, Ajay Devgan has been delivering good films for his fans always. Sippy said that his success in handling comedy roles in recent hit Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji, Athithi Tum Kab Jaoge and Golmaal shows that he is completely reliable as an actor.

Besides investing his time in cinema, Ajay is also involved in many other projects. Recent reports state that he plans to put his money in a solar power project in Gujarat. In collaboration with Roha Group of Mumbai, he has invested almost Rs 400 crore in the 25mw solar project.
