Aaman confesses

Aaman Devgn is making his Bollywood debut with Azaad.

Despite being part of a film family, Aaman admitted to feeling anxious about working with his uncle. He confessed during the trailer launch of his film.

Talking about getting nervous on day one of their shoot, Aaman said, “When we first started shooting this film, I was very nervous. I am still nervous but it is also accompanied with a lot of excitement, happiness. This moment will stay with me forever. I was so nervous on the first day when I shot with him. I was not seeing the character. I was seeing Ajay Devgn."

Ajay was also present at the event. He shared that he has often rejected Aaman’s ideas in order to push him to work harder and better. Ajay said, “He keeps getting fired from me all the time. Whatever he tells us is not enough for me. He works very hard but I keep pushing him. He likes it sometimes, he does not like it sometimes. But that’s how I am and that’s how I will”.
