Ajay said his friendship with Jha was 16-year-old. "I was injured and resting at home when Prakash Jha came to me with the script of Dil Kya Kare and after that we worked in many films. His films always have a strong message. People have always appreciated my work with him," he said.

Ajay said unlike the previous film, the reboot will have a female as the central character. "Today's films are all about great scripts. I also look for it and Prakash Jha also works on great scripts. This time Gangaajal 2 demands a heroine so there will be a female protagonist. I wont fit in the film," Ajay said
