Mumbai: Superstar Ajay Devgan on Monday said he hopes newcomers Aman Devgan and Rasha Thadani, who are making their acting debut with ‘Azaad’, will become even bigger stars than him and his co-star Raveena Tandon.
Aman is Devgan’s nephew and Thadani is the daughter of film distributor Anil Thadani and Tandon, who has worked with Devgan in films such as “Dilwale” (1994) and “Divya Shakti” (1993).
Devgan plays an important role in the pre-independence period drama “Azad”, directed by Abhishek Kapoor. This Hindi film is going to be released on January 17.
“I want them to surpass us, they become bigger than us. (I hope) whatever less we achieve, they achieve more. A lot of things have changed.”
The ‘Singham Again’ star told reporters at the trailer launch, “When we came into the industry, there was a rawness inside us. Today’s new generation is coming prepared, which is a good thing. We are learning on the sets. Were.” Azad” here.
Devgan said that earlier the audience used to be more “forgiving” towards new actors, but that is not the case today.
“The audience forgives our mistakes somewhere but today’s audience doesn’t forgive anyone. So you have to come prepared. Hopefully, I think these kids have prepared well and Abhishek has taught them well. … I think no matter how you frame it, it always feels less because I know the audience doesn’t forgive anybody today.” The actor said that the next generation needs to start their own journey.
He said, “If you follow anyone, you will never succeed. You can take inspiration from many people, but you have to chart your own path.”
Aman said that it was his uncle’s 2002 period drama “The Legend of Bhagat Singh” that inspired him to become an actor.
He said, “The best advice I got from him (Devgan) was that no matter how much success you achieve, you need to stay grounded. If you really want to achieve something, you have to be a good person. “
Rasha said that her mother told her to follow the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita.
“Do your best and then whatever happens is up to God. That’s what stuck with me because in this industry there’s a lot of emotion, a lot of overthinking and of course a lot of trolls. If you listen to everyone If you listen, it will drain you dry,” he said.
While Tandon and Devgan have worked together, the budding actress said she met him for the first time on the sets of “Azaad”.
“I was nervous. (But) she has this aura that makes everyone feel comfortable. So, luckily we felt safe and good the whole time. It’s been a very fun experience.” “Azaad” also stars Diana Penty and Mohit Malik in lead roles. The film is written by Ritesh Shah, Suresh Nair and Abhishek Kapoor, and produced by Ronnie Screwvala and Pragya Kapoor.
