As producer, director and actor Ajay Devgn basks in the glory of his Diwali bonanza, 'Shivaay', Team Radio City was fortunate to catch up with the tremendously talented actor, who shared his moment of success with us in this tell-all interview. Read on.How relaxed are you now that the film is a huge box-office success?Ajay: Yes I am happy. More because of the reaction I am getting from the audience that the families have loved the film. Fathers are telling me that their daughters have been beaming with pride. The reaction of the families is what I am finding very overwhelming.Everyone has fallen in love with the little child. Abigail EamesAjay: I had said earlier that she is brilliant. She doesn't have any dialogues in the movie because she is playing a mute character. So for her, it is much more challenging. She is enacting and emoting through her actions and more importantly through her eyes. Her reactions in the intensely emotional scenes would overwhelm me. Only children can teach you some things that you may not sometimes know.In the first half, you are all heart and soul, and in the second half, you go all out with guns blazing. Were there any traces of your own instincts as a father?Ajay: Films are made from a thought, not from a story. So the movie was conceived with the very thought about the relationship parents share with their children.Not many people are aware of this but you quite believe in the system of a joint family, dont you?Ajay: Of course, I do. Because all your life, your parents do so much for you. You realise it a lot more when you start doing the same for your kids. You can't just abandon them, all of a sudden. When you have space, then why would you want to live separately.How much of the equation that you share with your daughter has been reflected in this movie?Ajay: Almost, all the reactions exchanged between the daughter and the father is reflective of the equation I share with my daughter.A lot of our readers don't get enough time to spend with their kids due to their daily routine. So how do you manage to make up for lost time with your kids?Ajay: I try to balance it out. Because, I was staying away from the family for a year and a half while filming for this movie. So when I returned home after the completion, my son came running to me and we spent a lot of time in the garden before we went inside. So he was asking me, why do I go to work. I had to tell him that I go to work so that he can get his toys and play with them. So he told me, that I go to work to make money. Money does not buy happiness. Imagine, if he can say something like that at the age of five, then it hits you.Now that your kids must have watched the movie, they would now know about all the work that you were doing for a year and half, what has been their reaction?Ajay: My daughter said that she used to complain that I don't spend enough time with them but now, she feels proud and happy that my work has found success.We have to tell you this, that a family in Kanpur were crying because they couldn't get tickets to watch your film, even though there was 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' as well. We know that you don't like comparisons but what do you make of this?Ajay: First of all, I'm very happy to know about this because my film was meant for the family audiences. If it is a good family-oriented film, it will do well. That was my only intent. Of course, I would hope that both the movies do well at the box office.A lot of comparisons have been drawn to 'Taken'. Do you agree with this?Ajay: No I do not. Because if you see the screenplay, there is no reference. Yes, there is a father-daughter element in both films. But neither have we shown anything that is gaudy nor negative.The action sequences of the film have even caught the attention of Hollywood. How do you feel about it?Ajay: Of course, I feel very happy. Because we always see their films and think, why such scenes can't be seen in our films. Which is not true. We have the talent and the brains, we just need to work harder and we can easily achieve it. There weren't any CGI effects in the movie, the stunts were death-defying. I was glad that we could do it within our reach.Another beautiful glimpse that your fans got through this movie, is your romantic side. How did you manage to pull off this romantic stunt, mid-air?Ajay: But that actually is an adventurous thing to do. If you look out for it on the internet, you will get a lot of information on where you can avail these mid-air rides. And it is a good experience too.What's thrilling is how you've made a hit out of this movie? Are you just living in the moment now or is the sky the limit for your now?Ajay: Right now, I am enjoying this moment. Then I start shoot on 'Baadshaho' and 'Golmaal 4' Also, I've started working on the script of my next film, which will be bigger and better than 'Shivaay'.Has your father Veeru Devgn seen the movie?Ajay: He is currently bedridden. So when he recovers, we will show him the film for sure.What really excites us is when Hollywood took notice of the action stunts done in the film?Ajay: I was happy too. Because we have the talent and the capability, It's just that we need support from our industry and our audience too. If our audience prefer good actions films, we will make it for them. We need to up ourselves and push ourselves. All the special effects in the film have been done my own team. They had earlier worked on 'Bajirao Mastani'. So we have the potential. We just need the motivation.Lastly, what is your message to our readers?Ajay: I would like to thank them for all the love and support shown towards 'Shivaay'. Also, I'd like to add is that we must learn the best of both the Indian and Western cultures and inculcate them to make the world a better place to live in.
