"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.

It's not physically and mentally tasking. Some people are method actor and I am not that kind. I feel the character in front of camera and I just behave like that, " he said. Ajay started his career as an action hero with hits like "Phool Aur Kaante" and "Vijaypath".
