Meaty roles are for men, not for kids: Ajay Devgn

Image
Mumbai: After being in films for over 20 years and making his mark in the elite Rs 100 crore club with full-fledged masala entertainers, actor Ajay Devgn feels that meaty roles are still meant for industry veterans and the younger lot does not fit the bill. Big stars like Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar and Ajay, who are in their 40s are still calling the shots in Bollywood and the industry depends on them when it comes to box office. There are hardly any actors who have managed to challenge their supremacy to which Ajay says, "There is no success mantra as to why we all are still liked and doing well. I think when the audience accepts one actor it is for life, till you stop working. The kind of films that have worked well at the box office in the recent past you can't cast boys in it." "Be it 'Dabangg', 'Rowdy Rathore', 'Singham'... you can't take a boy as it won't to do justice to the film and the role....

~~ Won't do any film with A-certificate: Ajay ~~

Image
Bhopal: Do you wonder why Ajay Devgn has lately been doing too many light-hearted dramas? He doesn't want to associate himself with films that a family can't watch together and says it is a myth that vulgarity or skimpy clothes can make a movie work at the box office. The National Award winning actor seems to be following his resolution sincerely as in recent times he has been part of successful family entertainers such as the 'Golmaal' series, "Bol Bachchan' and 'Son of Sardaar' as well as an action-drama like 'Singham' "I have decided not to do anything that you can't watch with family. I don't want to do any film, which has A-certificate," Ajay said in a group interview here. The actor is shooting for Prakash Jha's intense social drama 'Satyagraha' in the City of Lakes. "I was recently watching a Hindi film, and my father (action director Veeru Devgan) got up and went away. Later, when I asked him, ...

Top 10 Most Powerful stars of Bollywood today

Image
Box Office verdict of a movie is the ultimate measurement of any star's power. Based on the box office openings and verdicts of their previous few movies, here is the list of top 10 most powerful male stars of Bollywood today: 1.) Salman Khan : Ever since Dabangg hit the jackpot in 2010, there is no looking back for Salman Khan. All his movies after that have been blockbusters and his stardom has touched the height which very few stars have seen in their life. Salman's last 5 movies Dabangg2, Ek Tha Tiger, Bodyguard, Ready and Dabangg have been viewed by millions of viewers worldwide in theatres. 2.) Shah Rukh Khan: Even though SRK's last three movies have not got the best of reviews, still they managed to comfortably cross 100 crores at Indian Box Office. Ra.One and Don 2 were not typical Shah Rukh Khan movies while Jab Tak Hai Jaan faced a strong opposition from Son Of Sardar. In Overseas though, SRK is the undisputed King for more than a decade now. ...
