Ajay
Devgn
who
is
gearing
up
for
several
releases
like
Maidaan,
Bhuj
The
Pride
Of
India,
MayDay,
Gangubai
Kathiawadi
and
others,
recently
revealed
he
will
be
making
his
digital
debut
with
Rudra
-
The
Edge
of
Darkness,
on
Disney+
Hotstar
VIP.
Now,
a
new
report
has
revealed
that
the
actor
has
decided
to
opt-out
of
the
big-budget
YRF
film.
Back
in
2020,
YRF
was
set
to
announce
a
slate
of
releases
in
the
coming
years
but
had
to
postpone
the
schedule
due
to
the
pandemic.
One
of
the
projects
was
set
to
be
a
superhero
flick
starring
Ajay
Devgn
and
Ahaan
Panday.
The
film
by
Aditya
Chopra
was
reportedly
allotted
a
budget
of
Rs
90
crore
for
production
only.
According
to
Bollywood
Hungama,
the
film's
tentative
budget
for
production
and
post-production
expenses
including
the
actor's
fees
was
set
to
be
Rs
180
crore.
Ajay
reportedly
had
verbally
agreed
to
be
a
part
of
Aditya
Chopra
and
Shiv
Rawail's
next
superhero
flick.
However,
he
won't
be
joining
the
cast
of
the
film
anymore.
The
portal
reported
a
source
as
saying,
"Ajay
had
never
signed
on
the
dotted
line.
He
had
a
powerful
role,
too.
But
now,
it
seems
he
doesn't
have
dates
to
allot
to
the
project.
Adi
doesn't
want
to
push
the
film
any
further
since
Ahaan
also
has
been
waiting
for
a
few
years
now.
They
were
still
trying
to
chalk
out
a
plan
that
could
work
out
both
for
the
superstar
and
the
banner
but
at
this
point,
it
seems
improbable."
Notably,
Ajay
Devgn
has
been
busy
wrapping
up
his
acting
projects
and
his
directorial
debut.
He
will
also
be
seen
in
two
in-house
projects
as
well
as
RRR,
Thank
God
and
another
project
with
Neeraj
Pandey.
The
source
revealed
that
the
actor's
dates
are
booked,
"till
almost
end
of
this
year
and
it
seems
Ajay
won't
be
able
to
accommodate
the
Shiv
Rawail
directorial
anymore."
