We behave in the same manner at home and even when we are out," Ajay, who has worked with Kajol in several hit films such as "Hulchul", "Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha", "Ishq", said.
You have to be careful, honest about depicting history: Ajay on playing Tanhaji
Ajay Devgn, who features in the title role in "Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior", said one has to be careful and honest about recreating history on the big screen. In the period drama, directed by Om Raut, Ajay plays Maratha commander Tanhaji Malusare in Chhatrapati Shivaji's army. "You have to be careful and honest to history. After from being careful, we followed the history. If someone asks us questions we can show that it is a part of history," Ajay told reporters here.
Ajay said it was his dream to make a big Hollywood-like spectacle film. "When we used to watch and discuss Hollywood films, we would wonder why we do not have such technology. We had dreamt to make a film that will stand on par with them and tell them, 'Look the budget of our films is half of what you make but our quality is same'. We have technicians and if in this budget we can make something like this, it is good. Earlier we did not have the technology but we have that today."
