Ajay Devgn recognises a film heading to failure

Ajay Devgn has been in the film industry for over two decades and has seen his share of hits and flops.�� The actor claims that he can tell while shooting a film if it is headed for failure but it is just too late to save it at times.

Devgn told Filmfare, ���You get to know if the film isn�۪t working while shooting for it.�� At least that�۪s been the case with me 80 per cent of the time.�� But at that point so much is at stake that you can�۪t do or say anything.�� With ��Himmatwala�۪ (2013), I thought the movie would be presented like ��Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai�۪ (2010) ��� retro but with a contemporary punch and styling.�� Sajid Khan, on the other hand, perceived ��Himmatwala�۪ as an out and out ��80s movie, which I didn�۪t.�� I guess everyone has their own take.�� That�۪s one of the reasons why I haven�۪t seen ��Himmatwala�۪ or even ��Rascals�۪ (2011) till today.�۝

Two-time National Award winner, Devgn is a respected actor who has been a part of some great cinema and has maintained a successful career over a long period of time.�� The 45-year-old actor has had his mix of films which hit the 100 crore club and those which become box office washouts.

He will next be seen in Rohit Shetty�۪s ��Singham Returns�۪ opposite Kareena Kapoor Khan.�� The film is slated to release on 15th August.
