During the trailer launch of “Azaad”, Ajay Devgn reflected on the industry’s changes since his debut in “Phool Aur Kaante”. He shared that, in the past, actors had the opportunity to learn on the job, with more time to develop their skills, and the audience was more forgiving of mistakes.
However, he pointed out that today’s audience is much more aware and unforgiving, placing higher expectations on both current and upcoming actors. According to him, this makes it essential for actors to be well-prepared and deliver strong performances right from the start.
Ajay also mentioned that the current generation of actors is more prepared, with each one striving to give their best in every project.
Ajay Devgn also shared his thoughts on the hard work Rasha Thadani and Aaman Devgan put into “Azaad”, their debut film, and praised their director, Abhishek Kapoor, for his excellent guidance.
The “Son of Sardaar 2” actor explained that he constantly pushes Aaman to do better than his best, as he believes the audience can be unforgiving, and there is significant pressure on young actors entering the industry today.
“Azaad” also marks the film debut of TV actor Mohit Malik and features Diana Penty in a prominent role, showcasing her in a completely new avatar. The film, which tells the touching story of a young boy and his horse, was shot extensively in Jaipur.
Produced by Ronnie Screwvala and Pragya Kapoor, “Azaad” is slated for a theatrical release on January 17, 2025.
