3
years
after
he
last
donned
the
uniform
of
a
law
enforcer
in
a
Bollywood
flick,
Ajay
Devgan
would
be
back
as
a
cop
in
February
2008
release
Sunday.
It
was
way
back
in
March
2005
that
Devgan
played
the
role
of
Havaldar
Mohammed
Ali
a.k.a.
Mike
Alpha
in
Mani
Shankar
directed
Tango
Charlie.
The
movie
was
a
failure
at
the
box
office.
Though
in
between
he
did
play
the
role
of
a
SP
in
a
Bhojpuri
film
Dharti
Kahe
Pukar
Ke
(2006),
it
has
been
long
since
Ajay
Devgan
played
a
cop
in
a
Bollywood
flick.
Instead,
he
has
been
experimenting
with
roles
as
diverse
as
a
small
time
crook
(Ram
Gopal
Varma
Ki
Aag),
a
suave
criminal
mastermind
(Cash),
a
mafia
don
(Omkara),
an
easy
going
impersonator
(Golmaal),
an
ambitious
businessman
(Shikhar),
a
henchman
(Apaharan),
a
mentally
challenged
man
(Main
Aisa
Hi
Hoon)
and
a
ghost
(Kaal).
Incidentally
Rohit
Shetty,
the
man
who
has
directed
Sunday,
was
responsible
for
projecting
Ajay
Devgan
in
a
different
light
when
he
convinced
him
to
play
the
role
of
an
Army
man
in
his
directorial
debut
Zameen
(2003).
Devgan
played
the
character
of
Col.
Ranvir
Singh
Ranawat,
a
rough'n'tough
Army
person
who
had
some
interesting
on-screen
conflicts
with
Abhishek
Bachchan,
the
film's
second
lead.
Rohit's
next
film
Golmaal
was
a
hardcore
comic
outing
and
had
Devgan
enacting
a
fun
part.
Now
Sunday
mixes
the
genre
of
both
Zameen
and
Golmaal
and
is
an
out
and
out
action
comedy
with
Devgan
as
ACP
Rajveer.
Also
starring
Arshad
Warsi,
Ayesha
Takia,
Irrfan
Khan,
Anjana
Sukhani
and
Mukesh
Tiwari,
Sunday
has
a
unique
plot
that
revolves
around
the
character
of
Sehar
(Ayesha
Takia)
whose
world
turns
topsy-turvy
when
she
gets
a
clue
about
the
missing
Sunday
of
her
life!
This
is
where
ACP
Rajveer
takes
up
her
case
to
sort
out
the
complications
from
Sehar's
life.
He
kick
starts
his
investigation
by
checking
out
various
people
who
had
interacted
with
Sehar
on
Sunday
which
include
a
taxi
driver
(Ballu),
his
struggling
actor
friend
(Irrfan
Khan),
Sehar's
best
friend
(Anjana
Sukhani),
a
scary
and
suspicious
character
who
resides
in
Sehar's
society,
and
the
group
whom
she
had
come
across
while
partying
at
the
discotheque.
In
the
process,
he
also
ends
up
hitting
upon
a
murder
case
which
brings
on
the
suspense
angle
to
the
entire
episode.
Produced
by
Kumar
Mangat
and
Sunil
Lulla,
Sunday
has
been
shot
extensively
in
Delhi
and
Mumbai
with
some
portions
in
Australia.
The
film
is
aiming
for
a
1st
February,
2008
release.
