Ajay Devgn says he ‘ensures he doesn’t copy action scene from any Hollywood film’; calls Bholaa’s bike-truck sequence “very risky” : Bollywood News

Bollywood actor-turned-director Ajay Devgn has redefined the genre of action films with his unique style of action and his ability to bring depth and complexity to his characters. In fact, his latest release Bholaa is also a high-octane drama film along with a six-minute bike-truck chase scene. Speaking of the same recently, Devgn said that whenever he designs his action scenes, he ensures that he “doesn’t copy a shot from any Hollywood film.”

It all happened during his interaction with ETimes. While talking about his vision on the action, he credited his father Veeru Devgan, and said, “I have inherited it from my father. I have learnt most of it from him. He used technology at a time when it wasn’t available. He took it to a point where people were amazed at how he did a particular scene at that particular point. Now that I have the support of technology, I can take it forward and create something where even people who are exposed to technology will turn around and wonder how this was created.”

He further explained, “Whenever I design my action scenes, I ensure that I don’t copy a shot from any Hollywood film. In most of our movies, you see the action sequences and know that this is something you have seen in a Bond film, or a Mission Impossible. So, when you create something different, there is no reference point, and it becomes tougher to execute.”

Talking specifically about the bike-truck chase scene, Ajay said, “This action sequence that you are talking about was very risky. We needed some top-notch bikers, so we flew in some international ones, and some from Pune and rehearsed for three months. To capture the chase, cameras needed to be closer. It was riskier, and so we designed the equipment accordingly keeping safety in mind.”

Coming back to Bholaa, it is an official remake of Lokesh Kanagaraj’s 2019 release Kaithi.
