Ajay
Devgn
can’t
be

Singham

all
the
time,
so
he
returns
to
his
goody
avatar
as
the
turban-clad
Sikh
lad
Jaswinder
‘Jassi’
Singh
in

Son
of
Sardaar
2
.

The
sequel
to
Ajay’s
2012
film

Son
of
Sardaar
2

is
directed
by
Punjabi
film-maker
Vijay
Kumar
Arora,
affectionately
called
Daddu,
who
marks
his
Hindi
debut
by
replacing
Ashwini
Dhir
for
the
second
instalment.

Interestingly,
Ajay’s
film
is
slated
for
release
on
July
25,
the
same
day
as
his
wife
Kajol’s
family
drama

Sarzameen
.

But
he
is
not
bothered
about
the
clash.

“There
is
no
clash,”
Ajay
asserts.
“That
is
on
OTT.”

We
don’t
discuss
work
a
lot
at
home
at
all.
You
have
reminded
me
that
her
film
is
also
releasing
on
25th.
I
am
sure
she
doesn’t
remember
that
my
film
is
releasing
on
the
same
date.
We
don’t
take
work
home.”

Devgn
was
present
at
the
trailer
launch
of
his
film
which
stars
Mrunal
Thakur
as
the
female
lead.

A
song
titled

Pehla
Tu
Duja
Tu

is
currently
going
viral
for
the
hilarious
hookstep
featuring
the
lead
pair.

Ajay,
who
is
not
particularly
known
for
his
dancing
skills,
admitted
that
the
dance
step
was
not
easy
for
him.

“You
may
be
making
fun
of
me,
but
even
doing
this
much
was
really
difficult
for
me.
Yet
I
did
it,

aap
log
shukra
guzaar
kariye
.”

Mrunal,
who
takes
on
the
role
of
Jassi’s
love
interest
Rabia,
says
she
was
thrilled
with
the
idea
of
doing
comedy
opposite
Ajay.

“I
loved
troubling
Jassi
in
this
film.
This
is
my
first
commercial
film,
and
I
am
grateful
to
Ajay
sir
and
Daddu,
who
gave
me
this
opportunity,”
she
says.

Learning
the
Punjabi
accent
was
“tough”,
admits
Mrunal,
but
the
entire
process
was
a
lot
of
fun
for
her.

“You
saw
me
with
a

dhol

in
the
trailer.

Dhol
ke
sath
naachna,
bajana

and
acting

karna

was
really
difficult
for
me.
For
a
Marathi

ladki

to
do
a
Punjabi
role
was
also
quite
challenging.
But
I
had
a
lot
of
fun.
I
also
learned
French
in
Punjabi,
if
you
know
what
I
mean.
You
will
get
to
see
that
in
the
film.”

Kubbra
Sait,
who
has
a
pivotal
role
in
the
film,
mentions
that
the
entire
unit
was
like
“family”,
as
they
spent
time
together
and
shared
meals
during
the
shoot
in
Scotland.

“I
had
seen
the
first

Son
of
Sardaar

in
a
packed
theatre
and
it
was
a
lot
of
fun.
It
is
a
big
moment
to
be
part
of
the
latest

Son
of
Sardaar

and
I
had
the
most
incredible
time
on
the
sets,”
adds
Kubbra.

The
film
features
an
ensemble
star
cast:
Ravi
Kishan,
Sanjay
Mishra,
Chunky
Panday,
Ashwini
Kalsekar,
Deepak
Dobriyal,
Roshni
Walia,
Sharat
Saxena
and
the
late
Mukul
Dev.

“Mukul
was
very
excited
for
the
film.
Wherever

Mukul,
we
love
you
and
we
miss
you.
I
would
request
you
all
to
watch
this

He
was
an
incredible
actor,

are
missing
him,”
says
Ravi
Kishan.

Ajay
showed
his
lighter
side
when
a
reporter
asked
for
his
comment
on
the
ongoing
Marathi
versus
Hindi
language
debate
in
Maharashtra.

The
actor
playfully
said
that
he
totally
anticipated
this
question.

“The
only
answer
I
can
give
about
this
language
thing
is

Aata
Maajhi
Satakli
.”
