T o make Ajay Devgan talk is a challenge. The actor may be a powerhouse performer, but, unlike his vivacious wife Kajol, is not his best with interviews. Still, Patcy N managed to get him to talk about Omkara, and how he tackles Fridays. Excerpts:
I play Omkara. I head a gang of outlaws in Uttar Pradesh, and Saif Ali Khan and Vivek Oberoi are part of my team. The film is essentially about a conflict between Saif and myself.
I think Vishal Bharadwaj is the finest director we have. He has done a great job adapting Othello and adding his brand of dark humour. He had done his homework, but was also open to everybody’s idea. We did a workshop to get comfortable with the dialogues, as they had a different flavour. I had to practice a lot and get into the habit of speaking it.
