Ajay
Devgn
says
Farhan
Akhtar
and
Sanjay
Dutt
will
play
an
assistant
director
and
a
gangster
respectively
in
his
next
home
production,
a
remake
of
National
Award
winning
Tamil
film
'Jigarthanda'.
Ajay
is
excited
about
his
production,
which
will
be
directed
by
Nishikant
Kamat,
with
whom
he
worked
in
the
2015
hit
thriller
Drishyam.
"I
am
producing
the
film
and
we
are
working
on
the
script.
It
will
start
in
January-February.
It
is
inspired
from
Tamil
film
'Jigarthanda'
(released
in
2014).
It
is
a
fabulous
story.
It
is
not
going
to
be
an
exact
copy
of
the
film,
we
will
change
things.
But
at
the
same
time,
quite
a
lot
of
stuff
will
be
similar," Ajay
told
PTI.
The
film
will
star
Farhan
Akhtar
and
Sanjay
Dutt
in
lead
roles.
Reportedly,
the
premise
of
the
original
film
was
based
on
an
assistant
director
(played
by
'Rang
De
Basanti'
actor
Siddharth
in
the
Tamil
version),
who
gets
fired
from
a
reality
TV
show.
He
then
decides
to
make
a
film
on
real-life
gangster
Assault
Sethy
(played
by
Bobby
Simhaa).
"I
was
too
occupied
with
work
and
I
felt
Farhan
and
Sanjay
were
apt
for
the
film.
It
is
true
that
Farhan
plays
an
assistant
director
and
Sanjay
a
gangster.
This
premise
will
be
the
same
in
terms
of
their
role," Ajay
says.
"I
have
a
production
house.
We
are
making
some
five-six
films,
so
I
can't
do
all
the
films.
I
have
to
be
honest
to
the
story
and
cast
actors
who
suit
the
parts.
My
intention
is
to
stay
true
to
the
story."
Ajay
says
the
team
is
working
on
the
script
and
once
it
is
done,
they
will
think
of
an
actress.
Meanwhile,
the
Singham
star
is
looking
forward
to
the
release
of
Golmaal
Again
on
October
20.
