Post Company, Ajay is definitely on a high. Not only he is enjoying marital bliss with Kajol but on the professional front too, he has impressed everyone with his action packed performances in The Legend of Bhagat Singh, Deewangee. This time he is back in action with in Harry Baweja's Qayamat and holding Urmila Matondkar's hand in Ram Gopal Varma's Bhoot.

Complete with coloured locks, stylish French beard and crooked smile, Ajay's reinventing himself. "He grows and improves with each film. Even in a small cameo in Darna Mana Hai, he's brilliant. In Bhoot, he plays his role with so much style that you have to accept the inevitable: he's an actor who'll go places," points out Varma. Branded as an action man, Ajay hated the image so much that he shed off his role with a vengeance. "I didn't want to deliberately change my image. Just that I chose to do other films. Luckily the audience accepted me in Zakhm, Pyar To Hona Hi Tha and I didn't do an action film in years," admits Ajay.

In Qayamat, Ajay slips into familiar territory: as an action hero. "Qayamat is a typical Hollywood kind of action movie. Action scenes set your adrenaline pumping but you also need a Bhoot to satisfy the creative urge," says the new dad who's spending all time available with his week-old daughter, Nyasa.
