For the first time, Ajay Devgan, who has worked with Big B in films such as Aag, Satyagraha, Khakee, Teen Patti, and Major Saab, will direct the megastar.



Ajay describes directing Mr. Bachchan as a "pleasure" in a recent interview. Along with directing, the 52-year-old actor will star with Bollywood's Shahenshah. 'He is a delight,' Ajay added. I've never seen a more dedicated actor. In front of him, we are nothing. He'll be on his mark as soon as he arrives on set. He'll say no if you advise him to relax in his van while we're lighting up.He will say that I am sitting here and I’ll keep rehearsing.

He goes on to say, "I've known him since I was a child, so we have a unique relationship. Since my childhood, I've been able to tell him everything I wanted. So, sir, thoda kum karo or yaha pe thoda improve karna padega, I can inform him."


When asked if it was simple to persuade Bachchan to join the project, Ajay jokes, "Yes, he just had one narration and was on board in two minutes.”


Mayday's filming began last year and is virtually over, with only five days remaining, according to the actor. Ajay will play a pilot in the film Mayday, and Bachchan will play a key part. After U Me Aur Hum and Shivaay, Ajay Devgn will produce and direct this film, which would be his third.
