Ajay devgn wants to play it safe

The release date of Ajay Devgn-starrer_ Action Jackson_, has just been announced as April 2014 (his birthday month). The film, being directed by Prabhudheva, went on the floor in September.

According to an industry insider, although Ajay began the first schedule, he is taking it slow where the next schedule is concerned. He wants to see how the director’s next film _R...

Rajkumar_ fares at the box-office before committing more dates. All actors manipulate their releases keeping many factors in mind including their director’s latest box-office performance. So

one can’t really blame Devgn for wanting to play it safe. A hit director’s film is greeted differently at the box-office. And although Prabhu has _Wanted _and _Rowdy Rathore_ in his resume,

his last film _Ramaiya Vastavaiya_ was not as appreciated in terms of collections. Ajay had a bad experience with _Himmatwala_, whose director also had a hit record but the film bombed at

the box-office, so he doesn’t want to play a blind game anymore. _R... Rajkumar’s_ release date was pushed from November to December. And now the dates allotted by Ajay for _Action Jackson_

have been pushed ahead too. However, a close friend of the actor says, “This is not true. They are currently shooting and the release date has been announced keeping post production and

promotions in mind. If the actor is not happy with the product he will wait till the completion of the film to see the final product and then announce the date, once satisfied.” PSSST; The

title _Action Jackson_ has been borrowed from the first two initials of Ajay’s name ‘A’ and ‘J’. His inspiration lies in the fact that people close to him call him AJ. It is a nickname given

to him by his wife Kajol. DID YOU KNOW? _Action Jackson_ is also a 1988 Hollywood action film starring Sharon Stone. Detroit Police Detective Sergeant Jericho Jackson, known locally as

Action Jackson, is a celebrated lieutenant in the police force but demoted (nearly two years prior) because of a case he headed involving the criminal son of successful businessman Peter

Dellaplane. The fall out over the case also collapsed Jackson’s marriage and put the law school educated, star athlete and hometown hero of sorts at odds with the public. Even after his

demotion, Jackson’s  begins investigating Dellapane’s professional exploits, eventually uncovering the string of murdered trade union members connected to Dellaplane’s group of assassins,

dubbed _The Invisible Men_.
