'Action Jackson' climax postponed

Choreographer turned director Prabhu Dheva was forced to delay the shooting schedule of his upcoming film ‘Action Jackson’ to July, BizAsia has learnt. The reason for the delay is being cited as male lead Ajay Devgn’s commitments to Rohit Shetty’s ‘Singham Returns.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “This is the way Ajay planned the releases. He wants to complete Singham Returns first. The climax of Action Jackson, which is pending, would now be shot in the monsoon.”

The delay has left director anxious. “It’s a very tough climax involving a large volume of cast, crew, finances and labour. But July would also be the time for torrential rains. So, I am keeping my fingers crossed that nothing goes wrong,” said Dheva.

It has been reported that Dheva wanted to shift the shootings to Hyderabad from Film City in Mumbai. However, the producers are still not convinced with the idea. “We had no choice but to shift the climax to July as Ajay is busy with Singham Returns. But I’m sure everything will be fine. This is the first time I’ve worked with Ajay Devgn and I can tell you for sure this is going to be one of his most special films,” he said.

“Not only are his action sequences in Action Jackson unique, Ajay has also done a straight-faced humour here which would bring the roof down. No matter when we release, Ajay’s fans will be happy,” he continued.

‘Action Jackson’ also stars Yami Gautam and is slated for release on 7th November.
