No leading lady for Ajay Devgn starrer 'Total Dhamaal'?

Recently, Indra Kumar's upcoming film 'Total Dhamaal' has been making the headlines over its interesting star cast. The film is the third installment in the 'Dhamaal' franchise. There were also rumours that actors Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit-Nene were reuniting after 17 years for the film. But a lot of focus was on which actress would play the lead opposite Ajay Devgn in the films. Now, it has been learned that the actor will not have a leading lady opposite him, in the film.

A source close to the film revealed, "There was no truth to the rumours about Ajay recommending Ileana for 'Total Dhamaal'. It is true that the original script had scope for another actress besides Madhuri. But on second thoughts, the makers felt that it would be interesting to see Ajay without a love interest. If you see 'Dhamaal' and 'Double Dhamaal', Sanjay Dutt's character too didn't have a leading lady opposite him."

The source also added that the film will go on floors next month. "The team is currently doing a recce in Uttar Pradesh. They will start shooting in Lucknow tentatively on December 15. Ajay's role will be similar to what Dutt has played in the earlier installments. The role will be adapted keeping in mind Devgn's brooding personality and quirks," the source said.
