Ajay Devgn on how he and Akshay Kumar did 10 films a year, credits their Punjabi genes and desi ghee.

Ajay Devgn says that his and Akshay Kumar’s Punjabi genes are what allowed them to keep making movies one after another when they were younger.


Actor Ajay Devgn, who is looking forward to the release of De De Pyaar De, appeared on The Kapil Sharma Show recently to promote his film. While there, Ajay shared several stories from his movie career and funny anecdotes about his co-stars.

According to a report in The Times of India, he was asked about how he could do so many movies in a year while his contemporaries, the Khans manage only a couple of movies. Ajay said that not just him, but also Akshay Kumar used to shoot for 10 films every year and the credit for it goes to their Punjabi genes. The actor said they are used to eating a lot of desi food with pure ghee from childhood, which made them extremely efficient. He also added that he used to wear only one jeans to reduce shoot time and change only the shirt as per the theme and sequences of the film.

In the last two years, Ajay has been a part of seven films while Akshay has made seven films as well. Meanwhile, Aamir Khan made two films in two years, Shah Rukh Khan made three films and Salman Khan made four.




On the show, Ajay also revealed how Ram Gopal Varma’s 2003 movie Bhoot made him claustrophobic after a horrifying incident. He said that the team was shooting on the 28th floor of a building and once he was taking the elevator to the sets when an accident happened. “It crashed from the fourth floor to the basement and I was stuck in it for an hour-and-a-half. After that, I only took the stairs to reach the location even though it was on the 28th floor,” he said. The hours spent inside the broken elevator scared him so much that he refused to use the elevator again for the rest of the shoot. He would often climb 28 floors four times every day just to avoid taking the elevator. He said he now only uses elevators with glass walls.

Ajay and De De Pyaar De actors Tabu and Rakul Preet Singh also recently shot for Zee TV’s show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs where people shared his “tales of pranks”. He said he has stopped playing pranks on people.

Ajay said: “Now that people know me and expect something out of me on set, I have literally stopped playing pranks. In fact, the funniest thing is that there are no pranks and still the cast and crew keep suspecting me if something goes wrong on the set.”

Adding to this, composer Amaal Mallik said: “Once on the set of Golmaal, I delayed in giving a song and Ajay light-heartedly asked me to sit in a car that was supposed to fall from the cliff without any harness. I started palpitating.”
