Bollywood star Ajay Devgan started this year with a big hit like ‘Shaitan’. His second release ‘Maidan’ reached theaters in April, but this time Ajay failed. This film of his which was postponed for a long time flopped. But this year, Ajay will be on the big screen in front of the audience many times.
Now he is going to be seen in Neeraj Pandey’s film ‘Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha’ with powerful actress Tabu. The film is about to be released and Ajay, who is busy in promotion, has now narrated an interesting anecdote about the film ‘Zakhm’ which won him the National Award for the first time.
Ajay Devgan signed the film while taking shower
‘Zakhm’ is considered one of the best films of Ajay’s career. This was the last film of famous director Mahesh Bhatt and it gave Ajay his first National Award for ‘Best Actor’. Now Ajay has told that he signed this film in the shower. In an interview with The Lallantop, Ajay described the experience of working with Mahesh Bhatt as ‘lovely’ and said, ‘I remember I was shooting in Hyderabad. There were no mobile phones then. I was in the shower and the room phone was ringing. Earlier there used to be a phone next to the shower.
When Ajay picked up the phone, he came to know that Bhatt Saheb wanted to talk. Ajay told, ‘I told him that Bhatt Saheb I am taking shower. Then he said that you listen to me, I am going to make the last film of my career. After this I will not make films. He started telling the story. Meanwhile I said, Bhatt Saheb, I am taking a shower. I am doing your film.
‘Zakhm’ was the story of Mahesh Bhatt.
Mahesh Bhatt has told in interviews that this film was based on his own story and Ajay played his role in the story. Pooja Bhatt, Nagarjuna, Sonali Bendre and Kunal Khemu also worked with Ajay in the film. ‘Zakhm’ was the last film directed by Mahesh Bhatt.
However, his own directed films ‘Yeh Hai Mumbai Meri Jaan’ and ‘Kartoos’ were released in theaters later. Almost 20 years after the release of ‘Kartoos’, Mahesh ended his retirement and directed the film ‘Sadak 2’ with his daughter Alia Bhatt.
