Gone
are
the
days
when
Bollywood
stars
enjoyed
a
loyal
audience,
believes
Ajay
Devgn.
The
actor
says
the
present
generation
of
cinemagoers
are
not
committed
to
any
one
hero
or
heroine.
"The
newer
generation
of
audiences
are
not
loyal
to
anybody.
We
have
been
lucky
that
a
segment
of
the
public
has
been
loyal
to
us
for
the
past
25
years.
So
we
have
that
plus
point.
But
otherwise,
they
will
only
go
and
watch
the
film
that
they
feel
they'll
understand," Devgn
told
reporters
here.
The
actor,
who
will
next
be
seen
in
Rohit
Shetty-directed
"Golmaal
Again",
says
he
still
preferred
the
mystery
that
was
once
associated
with
a
star.
"I
feel
that
the
aura
of
the
star
is
dying.
I
liked
the
mystery
that
came
with
being
a
star,
I
still
do.
But
today,
there
is
so
much
exposure.
Say,
if
one
is
not
active
on
the
social
media,
they
may
start
feeling
insecure
seeing
others
doing
it.
They
may
feel
the
pressure."

Devgn
says
when
he
was
starting
off
as
an
actor,
there
were
no
ego
clashes
among
the
contemporaries
but
things
have
changed
today.
"I
have
worked
with
Salman,
Aamir
and
other
heroes.
All
of
us
used
to
work
together
and
there
were
no
ego
problems.
Nobody
was
insecure
about
what
the
other
person
was
doing.
"Earlier,
we
used
to
have
'Golmaal'-like
fun
atmosphere
on
the
sets
of
almost
every
film.
Today,
you
can't
expect
to
have
that.
Maybe
the
newer
generation
has
that
problem."
The
National
Award-winning
actor
says
the
difficult-to-
please
attitude
of
today's
audience
works
as
a
motivator.
"It
is
a
good
thing.
It
keeps
you
on
your
toes.
You
will
have
to
make
good
films.
You
will
have
to
improve
the
quality.
Anyway,
all
the
films
cannot
work
at
the
same
time.
Only
30
films
do
well
out
of
the
100
average
ones
that
are
made."
Devgn
says
it
did
not
feel
like
the
seven-year-gap
between
"Golmaal
3"
and
the
fourth
sequel
and
it
was
like
going
to
have
fun
on
the
sets
just
like
any
other
day.
"When
we
started
shooting
for
'Golmaal',
it
didn't
feel
that
it
had
been
seven
years
since
we
shot
the
last
installment.
You
don't
realise
that
so
much
time
has
passed."
The
actor
believes
"Golmaal"
is
a
film
franchise
where
the
stakeholders,
be
it
actors
or
investors,
have
faith
in
the
story.
"Budget
means
that
whatever
amount
is
required
you're
making
that
available.
We
make
full
use
of
our
resources
and
try
to
be
the
best.
And
you
know
you're
not
wasting
any
money
when
it
comes
to
a
film
like
this."
Devgn
says
Bollywood
needs
to
pull
up
its
socks
as
Hollywood
cinema
and
digital
platforms
are
giving
Hindi
films
a
run
for
their
money.
"It's
sad
today
that
Hollywood
films
are
doing
way
better
than
our
own
films.
Due
to
Netflix
and
all,
you
get
to
see
a
lot
in
the
comfort
of
your
home.
It's
important
to
have
that
cinema
experience.
If
you
won't
bring
that
to
the
audience,
they'd
prefer
watching
films
at
home."
Devgn
stars
opposite
Parineeti
Chopra
and
the
film
also
features
Tabu,
Arshad
Warsi,
Tusshar
Kapoor,
Shreyas
Talpade,
Kunal
Kemmu,
Sanjay
Mishra
and
Johnny
Lever.
The
movie
is
slated
to
release
on
Diwali.
