Filmmaker Milan Luthria whose ambitious film with Ajay Devgn — Baadshaho — is soon to go on floors, looks forward to working with the actor. The two are close friends and have collaborated for several films together including Kachche Dhaage, which marked the director’s debut, Chori Chori and blockbuster Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai. The director-actor duo have constantly remained in touch through the course of both their careers and share an almost telepathic bond, according to Milan. Says Milan, “Our secret to working together is that we have enough mutual respect to listen to each other without bringing ego into it. The other thing that has always been a constant is that we read each other’s minds very fast, almost unbelievably fast, so much so that people on set feel it’s telepathic.”All praise for Ajay, Luthria adds, “Ajay is the master of the minimum, yet the king of larger-than-life cinema. I try always to exploit both these sides of him in a film. Being a filmmaker who loves human dramas as well as entertaining ones, I need an actor who can straddle both the worlds with equal ease, and Ajay does just that.”
