Ajay Devgn planning to direct the biggest film of career in 2024

Bollywood superstar Ajay Devgn is set to make his directorial comeback with the upcoming film MayDay, which hit the shooting floor in December 2020. Billed as an edge-of-the-seat drama, the much-anticipated film stars Devgn as a pilot and Rakul Preet Singh as his co-pilot. Megastar Amitabh Bachchan also essays a pivotal part in the film. The details of his character have been kept under wraps.

Devgn is currently working on the post-production of MayDay. And if a report carried by a leading entertainment portal is to be believed, the superstar has also commenced work on a new film, expected to be mounted on a humongous budget of approximately £ 39,268,120.62. Yes, you read that absolutely right!


A source in the know tells the publication, “Ajay has this subject in his mind for a long time now and has finally taken the step to bring it to the spectacle. Devgn has shared his vision and basic plot with multiple sets of writers, who are currently working remotely to develop it into a full-fledged screenplay. It is said to be a VFX driven premise with strong emotions and the actor is very excited to explore this world. It is not exactly a period film. However, the outcome of the said project depends on how the final output of the script turns out to be.”

The source goes on to add that development is still in the nascent stage, and the future of the project depends on the Covid-19 situation and the restoration of the theatre industry in the coming years. “The estimated budget at the moment is upwards of ₹400 crore (approximately £ 39,268,120.62), and it may even increase as the things start getting more concrete,” the source concludes.

'Akka' review: Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte’s battle exposes an uncomfortable truth about power

Highlights

  • Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte lead Netflix's five-episode crime drama set in a fictional south Indian region ruled by an 800-year-old sisterhood.
  • The series explores whether women in positions of absolute power can avoid reproducing the oppressive systems traditionally associated with patriarchy.
  • Strong performances, sharp dialogue and stylised storytelling make Akka engaging, although its political ideas are not always fully explored.

What happens when women take control of a world traditionally dominated by men? Does changing the gender of those in power automatically create a fairer society? Netflix's Akka, led by Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte, explores these uncomfortable questions through a violent crime saga built around an 800-year-old sisterhood.

Set in the fictional south Indian region of Perunuru, the five-episode series follows a powerful matriarchal community that controls the criminal underworld and the lucrative gold and illicit liquor trades. While its premise offers an interesting reversal of conventional crime dramas, the story gradually reveals that replacing male rulers with women does not necessarily dismantle the systems of oppression they inherit.
