Ajay-Kajol
Kajol’s picky about her choice of roles. Need proof? She’s only done 30 films in 23 years!

In 2014, it was all but confirmed that Kajol would play the protagonist in husband Ajay Devgn’s next production, helmed by Ram Madhvani. Eventually, the project was dropped. Rumours of their pairing persisted, but Ajay went on to film Shivaay, his dream project while Kajol stepped into Rohit Shetty’s Dilwale to star opposite Shah Rukh Khan.

Now that Dilwale is set for release and Ajay too has plans firmed out for Shivaay with shooting coming to a close in April, plans have been been put into motion for the couple’s next screen outing together.

Confirms Kajol, “Yes, we have planned a film under the ADF (Ajay Devgn Ffilms) banner. We have a script in hand and are just refining it further with a couple of important things that need to be sorted.”

Ajay plans to put this new film with Kajol on floors in June. He wouldn’t be directing the film though. “We have finalised the director. We’ll soon reveal the film’s title, genre and my character’s details,” says Kajol.

It’s clear that Kajol’s marching to her own tunes. “Ajay’s thinking is different and mine is different. I think of myself from a worker perspective and would basically do what I like doing,” she says, “Fortunately, I have a financial ability to do certain films only if I want to. I would do that from script to script. I would step into a film only if I am able to justify my presence there.”

Time and again, she has been considered as someone who is very choosy about her roles, something which is visible in the fact that she has done just 30 films in a career spanning 23 years. “Well, yes, I am very picky. But then you never know, if things are exciting enough, I would do three back-to-back commercial films next,” she laughs away.
