‘Raid’ came instantly

Actor Ajay Devgn, who is currently busy in promoting his upcoming crime drama film ‘Raid’, says he did not choose ‘Raid’ but it came instantly.

Talking to UNI, Ajay -- who was in the capital along with her co-star Ileana D’ Cruz to promote ‘Raid’ -- said, ‘I did not choose ‘Raid’. It came instantly. I heard the character and thought that we should really make films on something like this.’

‘We make biopics but there are people in the country who are serving and ready to give their lives for honesty and to what extent they can go. People don’t know about them. And this incident was very gripping so we decided to make a movie,’ he said.

Asked about the inputs he puts in a movie as an actor, Ajay said, ‘Filmmaking is a team work. When you start doing films a lot of things come to your mind, maybe right or wrong. We discuss them, some agrees some not, so whoever convinces who. So there is no percentage of how much inputs who has put.’

On asking his experience of working with Ileana and Saurabh Shukla, the ‘Singham’ actor said, ‘Ileana is very comfortable to work with and with Saurabh I had so many scenes that I loved doing them.’
