He's
known
to
be
chilled-out,
down
to
earth,
a
great
actor,
and
now
a
fabulous
director.

Devgan
must
have
taken
years
of
dedication
and
hard
work
to
attain
such
a
reputation.
He
has
always
been
known
more
for
his
socially
relevant
films
than
his
comic
capers.
Finally,
here
is
someone
who
appreciates
his
noble
work.

at
Kanpur.
After
doing
socially
relevant
films
like
Zakhm,
Legend
of
Bhagat
Singh,
Gangaajal,
Apaharan,
Halla
Bol
and
his
directorial
debut
film,
U
Me
Aur
Hum,
(which
speaks
about
Alzheimer),
he's
finally
being
appreciated.
Although
Ajay
was
not
present
for
the
award
ceremony,
he
gave
his
respects
in
a
written
statement
stating
the
value
of
Urdu
and
its
significance
in
the
Indian
film
industry.
