Why Ajay Devgan Turned Down Prakash Jha’s Aarakshan

It’s not just about the dates. Prakash Jha may want the world to believe that Ajay Devgan did not act in his Aarakshan due to date problems but the fact is that the actor was also not happy with his role, now played by Saif Ali Khan.

A source close to Devgan revealed that Ajay was not too excited about the role offered to him. He was also not happy that the character he was to portray disappears from the scene for a long time in the film, added the source. “The date problem could’ve been tackled, but Ajay was not keen to act in the film in the first place because of the above problems,” concluded the source wishing to remain anonymous.

Ajay Devgan and Prakash Jha have worked together on several films, including last year’s Raajneeti.
