Ajay Devgan is happy with the way his maiden venture as a director “U, Me Aur Hum” has shaped. “’U, Me Aur Hum’ is a complete family social. There is a lot of humour, drama etc in my film. I would rather call my film a romantic film which has a lot of drama and humor," says Ajay.
Ajay denies that his film is a take off from Notebook. "My film is completely different. Every script is different from one another. Every one tries to make some thing different. My film has its own standing in its own genre", he quips and insists that he did not zero in on his wife Kajol for his film just because she happens to be his wife. "I thought that Kajol was the best actress suited for the role. She fitted the bill perfectly to the T", he states.
Ajay insists that it was a conscious decision on his part to go in for talented actors instead of stars for his film. "I was clear of what I wanted, the day my script was ready. I wanted to cast Kajol, Karan, Sumeet Raghavan etc in my film. Isn't every director supposed to take a conscious decision to cast good actors so that he can mould them according to the way the script demands", exclaims Ajay.
Ajay confesses that he did experience a high as a director. "As a director, I find very hard pressed for time. Lot of work still needs to be done and the post production work is draining me off. All said and done, I do not think my life or for that matter my life style has changed in any way ever since I turned a director. I am the same family man even now, and long to spend more time with my daughter Nysa and wife Kajol", chirps Ajay.
However, Ajay concedes that it was not at all tough for him to act as well as direct himself in his maiden venture “U, Me Aur Hum.” "I had the entire vision of my film very clear in my mind right from day one when I set out to launch my film and hence I found that it was quite easy for me to act as well as direct at the same time," Ajay said.
