Ajay Devgn‘s upcoming movie, MayDay, starring Amitabh Bachchan, Boman Irani, Rakul Preet Singh is eagerly awaited.
While the fans wait for its release, Ajay is planning another directorial with a whopping budget of 400 crores.
A source tells Pinkvilla, “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’s said to be a VFX-driven premise with strong emotions and the actor is very excited to explore this world. It’s 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 project is currently at an initial stage and the future of this drama also depends on Covid-19.
“The estimated budget at the moment is upwards of Rs 400 crore, and it may even increase as the things start getting more concrete,” the source added.
On the work front, Ajay might collaborate with YRF for his next but things are currently on hold because of his packed schedule. “The project warrants the presence of a superstar like Ajay and the film team is more than willing to wait. Aditya Chopra feels that Ajay is tailor-made for the film and will do justice to the character,” the source ended.
