Actor-filmmaker Ajay Devgn, who is returning to the director's chair with `Shivaay`, got a chance to try and overcome his fear of heights while shooting for the upcoming film.

Ajay, who has starred in action movies like `Singham`, `Singham Returns` and `Action Jackson`, took to Twitter on Saturday to share a photograph of himself hanging from a cliff in the picturesque locales of Landour, a small cantonment town contiguous with Mussoorie.

`Trying to overcome my fear of heights, do you guys think this will help?` Ajay captioned the image.

`Shivaay` is Ajay's second venture as a director, after his 2008 movie `U Me Aur Hum`.

Sayesha Saigal, who is the grand niece of legendary actor Dilip Kumar and Saira Banu, has been roped in to play the female lead in the film. British child actor Abigail Eames will essay the role of Ajay's daughter in the film.

"Shivaay", which began filming in Mussourie in November, will hit the screens on Diwali 2016.
