Ajay Devgn feels that the gap between Indian cinema and Hollywood is bridging gradually as people in the West have started showing interest in Indian talent and films.
Asked whether in the coming years, India can produce more of actors who can play lead roles in Hollywood films, Ajay said at the CII Big Picture Summit 2015: “The gap (between Indian cinema and Hollywood) is getting smaller. It’s just a matter of time and we are getting there, like all the corporates from there are coming here.
“So the gap has reduced. Our actors are working there and there are going to be collaborations. They’ve started recognising our films and our talent.”
Ajay, who has been part of the entertainment industry for over two decades, was felicitated at the summit on Monday for his contribution to Indian cinema.
Asked whether he plans to make his Hollywood debut, Ajay said: “It depends on the project and its script. I have been offered a couple of things which I was not much interested in. But if something fabulous comes my way then why not.”
Apart from Ajay, the two-day summit also felicitated veteran actress Sharmila Tagore on Tuesday.
Ajay Sir we love you ! Great Article (y)
Ajay devgun has always been jealous of his wife Kajol’s success with King khan.
he is the only A list actor whose wife is more successful than him.
my advice to him~ better give hits here first flop hero then dream of hollywood
@Dear AJ Hollywood already recognise bollywood and bollywood stars very well.Its another thing that they don’t recognize you and plz don’t consider you as bollywood.
Well said the gap between Hollywood and Bollywood films is reducing slowly but not very much . 2015 has been a great year for Hollywood in India with movies like F&F 7, Avengers, Jurassic World and Mission Impossible . Also Hollywood Production Houses are investing their money in Indian movies which is a great sign . But for recognition at the World Level we have to make movies like Baahubali . Baahubali did not had any Superstar but still it did huge business in Overseas because they liked the idea, VFX and CGI very much . This is the reason why Baahubali will be releasing in many countries in dubbed versions . I hope Ajay Sir you can deliver something special with Shivaay and that too on a right budget . All The Best AD !!!!!!!!!
It has more to do with the audience here.They always fail to appreciate something new when it comes to Bollywood.The kind of criticism K3 had to face from pseudo intellectuals who would go gaga over Hollywood movies was unfortunate.It isn’t fair to compare every movie with Hollywood counterparts considering the budget constraints.As one director rightly pointed out the kind of epics we have in terms of storytelling like the ancient epics Mahabharata can’t be compared with the west
Hrithik is the only actor who could act in a high budget Hollywood movie as a lead.He has the looks physique and skills to outperform anybody
But your contribution is zero. Mr ajay you gave us three worst film AAG, AJ, Himmatwala. You don’t have the right to say this. SRK, Hrithik, Salman, Aamir has taken it to the world level not you.
SALMAN
AAMIR
SRK
HRITHK
AKHAY
AJAY
True Superstars Of World from India
They saw Ratoon Point One n laughed themselves silly…!
@duplicate ID king Dynamic
Hey Mister ID maker- nice to see you here as your plain old boring self n not under the guise of one of your many IDs…!
Ajays a nice guy to let his wife come out of retirement for the second time after MNIK in order for her to revive the stuttering career of his arch rival the Koyla Star Queen…! Show alittle more respect ok
There are currently 5 superstars in industry – khans,Kumar and devgn.
Hrithik is a superstar but hasn’t been so long in industry.
Shahid also has capabilities of a superstar.
Let’s see who will become a superstar from youngistaan.
#Bollywood is best.
Never liked this man , and I never will !!!
Our media overhype Hollywood so soooo much- our media keep telling us Wesley Snipes, Spielberg, Cameron, Hugh Hefner all desire working with our Koyla Star Queen but as of yet zero offers…! So hence our Queen is still making films with Kajol aunty trying to recapture past glories in bollywood…!
@Dynamic,very well said bro.
Look at the dumb thinking !!!!!gap between hollywood and Bollywood is small?????,really?????neither in terms of larger than life movies nor in huge collection,Bollywood can’t even be 10% of of hollywood.moreover the last time I watched a WORLD CLASS LIFETIME LARGER MOVIE was in 2010—-MNIK.till then nothing such movie BOLLYWOOD dare to produce and HAIDER came close apart of that.Indian movies are mainly for entertainment,though it’s highest collections ww movie not even 4% of hollywood’s highest collecting movie,still don’t know fans of big actors are quarrelling like they touched the sky though I too involved,ROFL.
H’wood has started recognising Indian Cinema since 1992 when King Khan steps into it but you’re too koyla/dark as u couldn’t realize it. Ja kisi country, waha tujhe log Baazigar/DDLJ/KKHH/K3G/MNIK wali actress Kajol ke husband ke naam se pukarenge.. :D

Lol …!!
he is talking about script if so , why did he choose son of sardar and action jackson kind of movie which simply lack script sense ….!!!
Ajay is always jealous of srk we all know it .
I want fan to release on Diwali 2016 doesn’t matter if four movies come together at the same date but I want it .
I agree with you, sir. In hollywood, actors, technicians, writers, musicians etc comes from all over the world. They pick top in every area from accros the globe.Therefore, they are very succesful. Because of that wideness, market too reach every corner of the universe. But, here in india, an organisation stopping from expanding market. They like indian cinema to have limited market otherwise they might not attack the actors from accros the border. Shame on #shiv sena
y do we care so much about hollywood
even if they don’t recognize us(which they don’t) how much will it chanage
what we should care about is making cinema which the whole world can be proud of
But AD,Every time Hollywood sees potential in Bollywood with Queen,Shahid,etc, You release a Himmatwala or an Action Jackson!!!LOL. On a serious note, stick to films like Dryshiam as you rock in them!!!
Wish u all the best ajay sir
@Javed u talking as if Srk didnt do craps like Ra.one, hny, Jthj and CE. And Himmatwala is still better than 95% of pakistani films.
It is fun watching SRK fans taking burnol on even AJ’s article !!!!!! Oh man !!!! AJ has done serious damage to SRK that’s why they hate him so much !!!!!!!!!
@hritik apart from srk fans many of them are actually Akshay fans with different ids.
Lol these srk fans are funny. Nobody talked about Wesley Snipes who is 5 times darker than Ajay and so ugly with mental problem? Just cos he praised 1 Bollywood actor srk. While Ajay is praising the whole of the talents Bollywood. All those abusing him are actually indirectly degrading Bollywood industry and don’t want to see us progress!! Seems like Ajay has really done something so painful to those haters fans that you and I may never know except them but who cares he is was and will always have his name in Bollywood hall of fame no matter how hard these losers bark and cry!
@dynamic dummie. Let’s pretend to be a fool like you and agree Kajol is more successful(in your dreams). Who is she? Ajay Devgn wife! Not yours so why not if am him I should be also proud after all she bears his surname not yours or ours. Also if you read again and misinterpreted then you need an eye glass. He was asked by the journalist that question and he gave a professional reply. What do you expect a National superstar to say? Yes or why not or no? He and we very well know what Ajay can do with an excellent scripts so of course he should say perhaps depending on the scripts. Finally 90% of Bollywood actors acting in Hollywood were National award winning actors. Non have been as consistent than Ajay especially fame wise so just chill and rub som burnol if it’s still painting you.
If he was jealous type of star then he would have never called Gauri and call Shah Rukh separately and resolve their Abrham surrogacy problem. No Srk close friends took time to resolve that but Ajay did. In lay man english that’s called a team player in the professional set up. King Khan had to return that favour by going to the sets of SR and embrace Ajay. They are very good friends while you guys keep on wasting your energy to bash this great human being and professional talented superstar.
@hrithik,@james,but I couldn’t understand why you masala crap film watchers did chamchagiri of this disaster actor?,ROFL.because he also did chamchagiri of your star,so chamchagiri in return,that’s what you’re doing,right?
@hrithik,oh what a thinking?yeah you’re right bollywood’s most successful star’s fans should take burnol on bollywood’s most disaster giving ugly looking star’s article!!!!!only a school drop out idiot can write such legendary thinking,ROFL.and BTW we’re bashing for his cheleon nature,and insecure misdeeds in past besides nothing else.
@james,yeah exactly that’s the problem that ajay is the husband of KAJOL.who is ajay?he is still chasing wife’s success as well as popularity,lol.and the way you’re against akshay and hr,in the same way we’re against most disaster giving actor.as you said about fame ,leave KAJOL ,ajay is still will need 100 birth to get the popularity achieved by akshay kumar,leave hr too.
And leave Wesley snipes,what about BRATT RATNER who said Himself AN SRKIAN?????what about James Cameron,Hugh Jackman,Kristen,Daniel,Penelope all who praised KING KHAN last but not least Obama too said dialogues of DDLJ,now don’t say all of them are mad like you,ROFL.open your eyes and take a burnol in the name of KING KHAN’S SUPER POPULARITY WHICH couldn’t be achievable by your bhojpuri star in upcoming 100 birth,ROFL.
@tastycrap,RA ONE,CE,HNY is far better movies than ajay’s 95% of total movies and salman’s all movies.
@bunty,are you dreaming kid?????who is koyla ,is he supreme court judge/or his son that he has the power to help someone?????let koyla to overcome his wife’s success 1st,then you’ll even think of helping WORLD’S 2ND RICHEST MOST ACTOR.don’t believe much on rumours.koyla is not in a position to help himself and you’re telling he is helping others,will I laugh or cry after seeing this.
@sss : It is a simple logic !!!! Do you go on Vivek Oberoi’s or Tushar Kapoor’s articles and post like this? Because they are the real disastrous actors but AJ Devgan gave SRK a fitting run and did not care who SRK is. FYI… AJ Devgan has same number of 100 crs movies as SRK. If he is disaster actor so is SRK and to top AJ have 2 national awards which your haklu lacks and a queen of FilmFake !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Too much fun !!!!!!!!!!!!!
