According to Hindustan Times, Ajay Devgn looked back upon his 3-decade long journey in the movie industry and stated that it was herculean. He also stated how sustaining in any field for three decades needed constant evolving, a certain level of maturity not just in age, but also in one's craft. Adding to it, he also mentioned how it also needed constant experimenting, countless hours of speaking to oneself more than to others and learning closely from every colleague and filmmaker you work with.
