Ajay Devgn: I will never do a film which I can’t watch with my kids

Actor Ajay Devgn has made up his mind to never do films with adult-humour again, and admits that doing such a film (Rascals in 2011) was a mistake.

You see excitement writ large on Ajay Devgn’s face when you sit down for a chat with him about Golmaal Again, the fourth installment in the hit comedy franchise. The actor, who is known as much for his intense on-screen characters, as he is for his humourous roles, says he gives a nod to a film only if it appeals to the young generation.

Ajay Devgn admits that doing an adult comedy film, Rascals (2011) was a mistake, and he won’t do such a film ever again

But mention how he had dabbled in adult-humour in his 2011 film Rascals, and he is quick to point out, “That was the only mistake (I made), and I learnt from it. That had some double-meaning dialogues, and the kind of response I got for it, from the audience was, ‘We don’t expect this from you, because after Golmaal and Singham, kids go to watch your films’. That’s when I decided I will not do something which you can’t watch with your family. I have kids (Daughter Nysa and son Yug) at home, so I don’t want to do any films which I can’t watch with them.”

Asked why he agreed to do yet another installment of Golmaal, he says, “It’s a brand which people love. You can only make a franchise work when the characters in the film work big-time. The audiences love the Golmaal characters — they know that Johnny Lever will forget, Tusshar [Kapoor] will not speak, I will break fingers — everyone, especially the kids love it. But when you re-work a script, everything changes and it excites you again.” The 48-year old adds that the only reason the latest installment happened was because people incessantly asked him for it!
