Ajay Devgn: I don’t want to do any films which I can’t watch with my kids

Actor Ajay Devgn is basking in the glory of the success of his film 'Golmaal Again'. The fourth installment in the series was also a blockbuster hit and this has made the star very happy. Talking to a leading entertainment media portal the actor stated that he only agrees to do films if they appeal to the younger generation.

When asked how he had dabbled in adult-humor in his 2011 film 'Rascals', the actor stated, “That was the only mistake (I made), and I learnt from it. That had some double-meaning dialogues, and the kind of response I got for it, from the audience was, ‘We don’t expect this from you, because after 'Golmaal' and 'Singham', kids go to watch your films’. That’s when I decided I will not do something which you can’t watch with your family. I have kids (Daughter Nysa and son Yug) at home, so I don’t want to do any films which I can’t watch with them.”

When asked why he agreed to do yet another installment of 'Golmaal', he said, “It’s a brand which people love. You can only make a franchise work when the characters in the film work big-time. The audiences love the 'Golmaal' characters — they know that Johnny Lever will forget, Tusshar [Kapoor] will not speak, I will break fingers — everyone, especially the kids love it. But when you re-work a script, everything changes and it excites you again.”

“Ever since the last 'Golmaal' film released (in 2010), fans had kept asking ‘What’s next? Bring something again’,” he shared. While everyone loves to watch Ajay in his larger-than-life action and comedy flicks, he said that he isn’t particularly fond of any genre. “An actor is not supposed to enjoy roles in any particular genre. It’s a difficult question (for anyone in this profession) to answer,” Ajay concluded.
