Ajay Devgan, Elvish Yadav and…
After the release of the promo of Bollywood star Ajay Devgan, the discussion about the show has intensified. The clip shows Devgan, popularly known as Singham, reacting to a call about the show. He humorously dismissed the rumors saying, “Chhote-mote prank kar kar karta hoon, par ye show kafi controversial lag raha hai” (I can do small pranks, but this show seems quite controversial). He continues his iconic pose by joking: “Main verdi wala sher hoon” (I am a lion in uniform), before laughing, “Main 5 people party ki bhi nahi jaata” (I don’t even go to five people’s parties). He finally said, “Pichli baar bol raha hoon, main The 50 ka Lion nahi hoon” (I am saying it for the last time, I am not The 50 ka Lion).
