Akshay
Kumar
and
Ajay
Devgn
have
come
a
long
way
and
have
starred
together
in
films
like
Suhaag,
Khakee
and
Insan.
The
two
actors
will
be
seen
sharing
screen
space
once
again
in
Rohit
Shetty's
Sooryavanshi.
But
do
you
know
that
they
once
fought
for
the
same
role?
Speaking
about
it
at
the
trailer
launch
of
Sooryavanshi,
Akshay
revealed
that
he
was
the
original
choice
for
Phool
Aur
Kaante,
but
Ajay
Devgn
pushed
him
out
of
it.
The
action
film
marked
Ajay
Devgn's
debut
in
Hindi
film
industry.
In
the
same
year,
Akshay
also
took
his
first
step
in
Bollywood
with
Saugandh.
Introducing
Ajay
as
his
old
friend,
Akshay
told
reporters
at
the
trailer
launch
event,
"We
both
started
our
careers
together.
We
started
out
in
such
a
way
that
we
fought
for
the
same
film.
I
was
originally
cast
in
Phool
Aur
Kaante
but
he
pushed
me
out
and
got
the
film
for
himself."
The
superstar
went
on
to
say
that
he
and
Ajay
have
come
a
long
way
since
then
and
starred
together
in
many
movies.
Akshay
and
Ajay
also
requested
their
fans
and
fan
clubs
not
to
fight
with
each
other
and
instead,
go
and
watch
the
movie
together.
A
PTI
report
quoted
Devgn
as
saying,
"Akshay
and
I
are
here
together
so
we
both
want
to
tell
our
fan-clubs
that
please
don't
fight
among
yourselves.
We
see
that
our
fans
fight
with
each
other.
So
we
want
to
say
that
we
both
have
always
supported
each
other
and
we
have
made
this
film
with
a
lot
of
love.
You
all
also
please
go
and
watch
this
film
with
each
other."
