Ajay Devgn Turns Action Director For Bhuj: The Pride Of India, Choreographs Two Elaborate Fight Sequences

Ajay Devgn is an actor par excellence. He has been a part of the industry for decades and has successfully managed to not just keep himself at the top of his game but also connect with the fans through all his films. He would next be seen in Bhuj: The Pride Of India, where he will essay the role of an IAF officer. And guess what, now he would also turn action director for the same and would choreography two major sequences in the film.

According to a report in Mid Day, he had taken over the charge after stunt coordinator, Peter Hein was unavailable. A source was quoted saying, "The sequences come at a crucial juncture in the narrative. In the first set-piece, Ajay is seen attempting hand-to-hand combat as he fights the spies sent by the Pakistani army. The other segment, an outdoor shoot, has Sanjay Dutt and Sharad Kelkar take on the baddies. While Peter Hein has handled the remaining action scenes, he was not available in mid-March when these pieces were to be shot. Since producers Ginny Khanuja, Bhushan Kumar, Vajir Singh and Kumar Mangat Pathak had booked the Powai studio and got the combination dates of the concerned actors, they requested Ajay to take charge. Anyone who has worked with the actor has noticed his expertise in mounting a high-octane fight scene, like father Veeru Devgan." The film’s spokesperson also confirmed the same!

Bhuj: The Pride Of India is about IAF officer, squadron leader Vijay Karnik, who managed to reconstruct the IAF base in this Gujarat town with the help of 300 local women. The film was to release on Independence Day but has now been pushed.
