Golmaal Returns is fast emerging as 2008's biggest blockbuster as of now. But the man behind the sequel Ajay Devgan, does not wish to take any credit for that!

"It was a joint decision. When Golmaal (2006) became a success we all decided that a sequel had to be done. We gave a lot of time for the scripting of the film. We had to be careful since the first part was a huge success. The gags this time definitely had to be better." Ajay tells us.

Ajay seems to be at ease with comic flicks lately. "This is not the first time I am doing a comedy. I had done films like Ishq with Aamir which was a huge success. But people immediately connect me to Golmaal. But it's time I did an action film. I am missing hard core action now." says Ajay.

Having been concentrating more on comic films for some time now does he consider comedies a safe bet? "Life is not about being safe. It's about taking risks. There is no thrill if there's no risk. My life would have been monotonous by now." replies Ajay.

The association between Director Rohit Shetty Ajay Devgan goes a long way. In fact Rohit did his directorial debut (Zameen) with Ajay. "Yes, I have known Rohit for the last 18 to 19 years. He first started off as an assistant with Phool Aur Kaante and went on to assistant Devgan films. I have seen a lot of potential in him and he is clear with what he wants to do." says Ajay.

Ajay Devgan has never let himself be typecast in any role. From Phool Aur Kaante to Apaharan the actor has experiemented with different genres. He has moulded himself deftly from an action hero to comedy roles. "I think I have been plain lucky to get the right kind of films and right kind of directors. It keeps me going.

The actor turned director says that he got a tremendous response to his debut directorial venture U Me Aur Hum abroad. "I got a lot of experience when I was in London.

People came and spoke to me aout a lot of small sensibilities. It was a very risky subject, epecially the second half. The first half was very commercial. There were times when I felt I should have stuck to it but then my sensibilities as a director over came me.

I had a great actress like Kajol with me. It was such a difficult role to do but she managed it smoothly."

When we asked him whether he is contemplating his next directorial venture, Ajay's reply was, "I am working on a script. I'll let you know as soon as I can."
