It
was
inevitable.
Accolades
that
have
been
pouring
in
for
Indian
superstar-filmmaker
Ajay
Devgn
as
a
director
has
sent
his
stock
into
a
tizzy.
Trade
sources
feel-direction
is
in
his
DNA.
And,
while
he
has
many
milestones
as
an
actor-superstar
(including
two
National
Awards),
his
directorial
journey
is
also
marked
with
sparks
of
brilliance.
And,
we
somehow
get
the
impression
that
Devgn
will
continue
to
direct
films
at
regular
intervals.
Runway
34
got
him
high
praise
from
remarkable
quarters
(including
the
audience
and
media)
and
it
went
on
to
consolidate
his
position
as
a
director
of
repute,
putting
him
right
up
there
with
some
of
the
finest
Indian
filmmakers
in
the
sub-continent.
In
fact,
the
film
has
been
invited
by
two
reputed
educational
institutions
with
young
minds
wishing
to
study
Runway
34
both
for
content
and
technique.
So,
the
news
that
Devgn
is
currently
directing
his
fourth
film-the
high-octane,
strongly-emotional
drama
Bholaa
starring
Tabu
and
himself
in
the
lead
comes
as
no
surprise.
And,
the
upward
graph
from
his
first
directorial
U,
Me
Aur
Hum
to
Runway
34,
hasn't
gone
unnoticed.
Now
he
wields
the
megaphone
yet
again
and
without
much
ado,
he
is
set
to
finish
principal
photography
on
his
fourth
directorial
Bholaa
by
August
20.
Asked
how
he
managed
to
shoot
the
film
so
quickly
post
the
release
of
his
April
release
Runway
34,
Devgn
smiles
mysteriously
and
says,
Well
the
preparation
was
done
earlier
on.
It
was
just
a
question
of
getting
behind
the
camera
again
and
saying
the
three
magic
words-Lights,
camera,
action!''
Bholaa
is
set
for
a
theatrical
release
on
30th
March
2023.
