  • Well just hope it is no masala entertainer as Ajay devgn needs to take a break from this genre. A hard hitting performance oriented film is expected from the 2 time National award winner this time.

  • All the best to Ajay hope Shivaay turns out to be a brilliant movie . I don’t want a clash between Mohenjo Daro and Shivaay if Shivaay releases on 22nd Jan 2016 because both Hrithik and Ajay are my favourite actors . U, Me aur Hum was not liked by the audiences . I hope that Shivaay becomes critically as well commercially successful . Ajay is taking time so i don’t think he will come in 2015 . He should come in 2016 with a Bang . It will be a difficult year without Hrithik, Ajay and Aamir they all are my top 3 favourite actors .

  • @ Indicine Please post an article about
    Dhoom : 2 completing 8 years today . It was released on 24th Nov 2006 and broke all box office records and also won the hearts of audiences .

  • Shivay should eaisly cross 200 cr at indian boxoffice.shivay will be one of the best anticipated movie of 2016.aj wont have any release in 2015.shivay vs mohenjodaro pick your choice for jan 2016.i think aj will beat hr.

  • Shivayy…. Year 2016 will going to start with blockbuster … Well wishings to Ajay for his directorial venture.

  • @BABA
    never use such words for such superstars… you don’t stand anywhere infront of them..

    why so hate?
    did he abused you?
    did he hit you?
    did he took your money ?

    spread love
    KISS OF LOVE

  • Its really bad news that Ajay has no release in 2015, a year with out Ajay,Aamir and HR will be boring but hope Akki and Sallu will entertain us.

  • Althought U Me Aur Hum’ which was Ajay’s directorial debut was a semi hit but most of critics praised the movie and loved his work …..so I hope Shivay will touch millions of heart and perform well at the box office windows.

  • My action director is from “The Fast and the Furious”, I’ve got half of my crews from Hollywood and half of my actors are from there. That’s too big a budget” Ajay said that talking about Shivay.

  • Shivay budget will be among the biggest in indian cinema as told by aj to pinkvilla in a interview.i guess budget of shivay will be around 150 cr.stunt director will be fast and furious fame.this film gonna be huge.syesha is really very lucky girl to debut in such a big budget film starring with superstar ajay devgn.hope shivay will be new milestone for indian cinema.

  • @sharaub….happy u really recognize d talent and mystical potential AD has!…yeah he needs a change but it doesn’t mean d masala havnt delivered super hit/ blockbuster status..
    Also in all genres AD has done @least 1 or 2have all been super hit all tru…. Comedy! Physco! Action! Gangster!Political! Family! Romance! Villain! Etc….
    So he has done it before…let him just try again after all having d current tag for d MOST VERSATILE ACTOR I think along with SRK… Who has done almost all type of genres….I think they r d 2 most versatile actors presently!
    Salman… Dunno if he has done a political movie or gangster…
    Aamir… Mafia and Phyco (let’s wait 4 pk)… But yeah he has done a sport movie!
    Akki….underworld (outim2) didn’t do well…political can’t remember?? Okay yeah Hritik! All genres xcpt 4 a political….and comedy too I doubt…but overall…. B it SRK AAMIR SALMAN AJAY HRITIK AKKI… honestly …these r wat we call d REAL VERSATILE HEROES OF BOLLYWOOD TODAY

  • @chala…same as shaurab..( appreciation towards recognizing AD talent)! Most of your comments honestly I thought u really hated AD but good to c your contribution… Rock on bro!

  • @Baba…yeah I think d comment is kind of harsh towards HR! Sure any day any time AD is my role model! But I I also know that Hritik highly deserves MERITS based on his achievements!..I don’t believe in Filmfare awards but wen u see a real gem on d screen I think they deserve respect! But thanks 4 acknowledging AD (interns of his STAR POWER EVEN AS TODAY)!
