Ajay Devgan’s entire focus is on the year 2026. Four of his films were released this year. Where two flops and two hits took place. Although the actor already has many films to his credit. The release dates of some of which have also been announced. Actually, every actor rejects many films in his career. But there have been many such films when he wants to work but another actor wins. Same thing happened with Ajay Devgan years ago also. He was in talks with the makers for a big film. The matter was about to be resolved when Akshay Kumar’s call came.
Actually, Ajay Devgan and Akshay Kumar have done films together. Both are good friends, whose clash has been seen at the box office also. But there was such an occasion, when 26 years ago Akshay Kumar snatched a big film in front of Ajay’s eyes. Whereas, at one time neither Ajay Devgan nor Akshay Kumar was the first choice for this film. Sunny Deol was made a hero, but even his bad words did not work for Ajay Devgan.
How did Akshay snatch the film from Ajay?
It is about the film ‘Janwar’ released in the year 1999. This was an action thriller film. Whose story is written by Robin Bhatt and K.K. Singh wrote. Whereas, Sunil Darshan was the director and producer of the film. Apart from Akshay Kumar, Karisma Kapoor and Shilpa Shetty also worked in the picture. Ajay Devgan was almost finalized for this picture. But over the weekend the director got a call from Akshay Kumar. Akshay said that he wants to do a film. Now because his career was not going well, he had already given many flop films. Nevertheless, seeing Akshay’s dedication, Sunil Darshan cast him.
The special thing is that he had never met Akshay Kumar before. He also knew that the film would not be able to earn much money by casting him, but was happy with the dedication. But a big film was out of Ajay’s hands. Because Ajay had agreed to the film. Even Ajay and Sunil were supposed to meet to sign the legal documents of the film. But then Akshay’s call came and Ajay did not get the film. He was told that he was going to work with Akshay.
Sunny Deol was going to become a hero
Sunny Deol was going to be the first hero in this film. Sunil agreed to do the film after listening to the story from Darshan. But a misunderstanding arose between Sunil Darshan and Sunny Deol regarding ‘London’ being shelved. After which he parted ways with Sunny Deol. However, Jaanwar became a hit and proved to be a turning point for Akshay.
