He is better known as the man of few words and one who creates quite the impact being on the big screen. Yes, we're talking about Ajay Devgn. The actor has had a really long and good career and he recently opened up to a leading entertainment and news portal about what needs to be done to stay relevant in the changing times.
“Of course it gets difficult,” he said. “You have to work hard for it. You can’t take everything so easily. If you’ve achieved something, it’s not going to stay with you, or last forever," he said. Speaking practically, he added, “You have to keep struggling to be where you are and try to get ahead. Because there will come a point where you move back. That’s what life is.”
Ajay's next, 'Raid' is a film seeing him play a no-nonsense income tax officer called Amay Patnaik. Talking about his character, Ajay said, “I just followed the makers and what they understood of it. It’s a true story. We just knew how they (characters in the movie) feel, and how they feel at that point. We have kept it as real as possible.” Talking about if he struggled to play the character, he said, “The struggle was that he’s very heroic, but also very real, so we tried to keep it that way. We even wanted to keep the punch-lines real. It shouldn’t look like you’re watching a film. I followed the character realistically."
