Actor Ajay Devgn, who is readying for his upcoming action-packed film Singham, is all praises for his director friend Rohit Shetty and is excited that the initial response to their new venture has been “roaring”.

“Singham rocks, growls and ROARS! AAAAWESOME!!! Kudos to Rohit. His best so far… And so says Kajol, I think she really meant it (sic),” Ajay said on Twitter.

Rohit and Ajay’s association dates back to Phool Aur Kaante(1991) in which Ajay made his acting debut and Rohit was assistant director.

After that, Rohit worked as assistant or associate director in other Ajay starrer films like Suhaag, Haqeeqat, Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha, Hindustan Ki Kasam and Raju Chacha.

At the age of 29, Rohit directed his first feature film, Zameen in 2003, as an independent director with Ajay as one of the leads.

The actor-director duo went on to work together in films like Sunday, Golmaal series, All The Best and the 42-year-old actor is now overwhelmed with the response to the latest Singham.

“One of the best compliments I got today that just made my day “wish I got a whistle with the ticket. Really missed the whistle!,” Ajay said. “The response here is “roaring” (after the trial show)…thanks everyone,” he added.

Singham, is a remake of the successful 2010 Tamil film of the same name which was directed by Hari and featured Suriya in the lead role.

The Hindi remake stars Ajay and south actress Kajal Agarwal and releases on July 22.

Ofcourse with the trailers of Singham doing rounds showing Ajay Devgn with his chiseled physique, he has become the ‘talk of the town’, making even Salman Khan go ‘Kya body banayi hai yaar’ !

Sources say that the Dabangg star himself could not resist praising Ajay’s body in the movie. Sallu tweeted “Superb Ajay’s body is looking. Too good.”

However, the action hero has been maintaining a low profile letting his work do the talking. On being questioned about his workout regime he said that he has had this body for years. “I’ve been working out since a long time now!”, he said.

In Singham, it is learnt that Ajay will be showing off his body where he plays the role of  a cop. Celeb trainer Prashant Saawant, who’s helped him get to this point in three months, says Ajay went through rigorous combination of weights and circuit super sets that incorporated all techniques including pushups and pull-ups, along with a high-protein low-carb diet.

Guess, the ‘18 till I die’ syndrome works well with Jackie Shroff. According to sources, for the upcoming movie, ‘Neil Ko Pakadna Mushkil Hi Nahin Namumkin Hai’ directed by Chandra Barot, Jackie was offered the role of the lead actor i.e. Aniket Vishwasrao father but Jackie refused and as a result, the storyline was changed slightly and he was asked to portray the role of the actors brother.

Director of the movie informs, “Jackie was to project the role of Abhijeet’s father but he refused the role saying abhi mujhe pitaji ke role nahi karne hain . Therefore, we changed his role as the brother’s role in the movie.” In the movie, Jackie Shroff essays the role of Aniket Vishwasrao’s big brother and the brothers have an uncanny rapport as they like to play games where they challenge one another on various issues. Now, Jackie’s photos regularly appear on the front page for his many charities and he always chides with Aniket as to when would he see his photo on the cover of a paper. This is a sort of challenge for Neil (Aniket) and he accepts the challenge. Neil, with his three friends, kidnaps a beauty queen (Sanam) who has just won a beauty pageant (not knowing she is the daughter of the Chief Minister). Thus starts a long chase and finally Swati (Sanam) realises that this was a prank gone wild (she actually falls in love with Neil), both Swati and Neil decide to clear all misunderstandings and return back home when Swati actually gets kidnapped by real terrorists. The boys decide to rescue her as it was their fault in the first place and in the process, they also get caught. Here Jackie Shroff decides to bring his brother back and this time Jackie’s wife (Anu) throws a challenge at him and this is one challenge he is not going to loose.

As if Aamir Khan and Imran Khan’s mamu-bhanja PDA was not enough another chacha-bhateeja duo is here to paint the town red.

On Thursday night Abhay Deol organised a special trial of his recent film directed by Zoya Akhtar Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara at a multiplex in Bandra for Sunny Deol’s son and his bhateeja, Karan and his friends.

Incidentally, Karan, better known as Rocky in the Deol khandaan, is grooming to make his Bollywood debut in the next couple of years.

The 19-year-old has also enrolled for an acting course at Rahul Rawail’s Stella Adler Academy in Juhu.

A source close to the Deols said, “Karan is all set to storm Bollywood in the next couple of years. A proper launch vehicle is being planned. Karan will be launched by Vijayta Films and right now is being groomed. Earlier he joined Rahul Rawail’s acting academy.

Sunny is someone who firmly believes in Rahul Rawail. Rahul was the one who launched Sunny with Betaab and then made quite a few films with them.

He is also going to make the Yamla Paagla Deewana sequel. The 19-year-old is currently concentrating on his studies.”

The source further said, “Karan is extremely close to his father. So, far Karan has been protected and Sunny doesn’t want him exposed in Bollywood.

That’s why he is never seen at any of the parties or functions of any Deol film. However, now he will be making a lot of appearances before he makes his big debut.”

Karan, watching this chacha on-screen can be a fun and learning experience. Hope you learnt your lessons well.

Sonakshi Sinha might forgive but she doesn’t forget. The Dabangg actress was in talks to star opposite Shahid Kapoor in his home production, but was replaced at the last minute by Sonam Kapoor.

It seems the makers felt that Sonakshi and Shahid didn’t look good together on screen. Shotgun’s daughter was to do a screen test, but that never materialised once they decided to get the Kapoor girl. Now the tables have turned and Shahid wants to work with Sona, but she isn’t that keen after what happened in the past.

Buzz is that Kapoor has been sending feelers to the actresss through common friends. But it doesn’t look like you will see this jodi on the big screen any time soon.
