'Ajay, Sanjay are like Tom & Jerry'

Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt have been close friends for over a decade now and Rascals director David Dhawan says their chemistry helps bring out the best in the Tom & Jerry-like scenes in the upcoming comedy.

"The fact that Ajay and Sanju are such good friends is the best part of Rascals. When two actors have great rapport between them, it always shows on screen. The entire give and take between Ajay and Sanju is what brings maximum laughter in the film. For the audience it would be fun to watch the two of them in sequences which would be akin to Tom & Jerry chase. I really enjoyed working with the two of them," Dhawan told PTI.

This isn't the first time that the duo has shared screen space. They have starred in films like All The Best, Mehbooba and Tango Charlie. Sanjay even did a voiceover for Ajay's Toonpur Ka Superrhero. Moreover, they had worked with Dhawan earlier in Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahin.

For someone who has worked in maximum number of films with the likes of Govinda, Salman Khan and Anil Kapoor in a career spanning over two decades, Dhawan promises his audience vintage stuff with Rascals.

"With Sanju and Ajay around I got the kind of actors that my script demanded and together both of them have improvised further on the scenes. This is the kind of value that senior actors bring to your film. As a director you just need to explain the scenes to them and then they just take them to a different level altogether," said Dhawan.
