"I am a very spontaneous actor.

I feel the character. I am the only actor in the industry now who is doing every genre and audience have accepted me with open arms. I try to be the character. Instead of the character becoming Ajay Devgn, Ajay becomes the character, " the actor told. "An actor job is just to perform.
