Ajay Devgn’s upcoming film Azaad holds a personal and emotional connection for the actor,
especially because it features his nephew, Aaman Devgan, and Raveena Tandon’s daughter, Rasha Thadani, in their acting debuts. At the trailer launch event, Ajay shared that the film is special to him for more than one reason.
Ajay revealed that the film’s significance lies not only in the exciting launch of two fresh talents but also in the deep personal bond he shares with Aaman. “First, because two new actors are being launched in it, both very talented,” Ajay began, referring to Aaman and Rasha. He then added, “One is the daughter of my colleague and friend, and the other, Aaman, who is not just like my son, he is my son.”
In his heartfelt statement, Ajay expressed his affection for Aaman, emphasizing the unique and fatherly bond they share. While acknowledging that Aaman may not be his biological son, Ajay made it clear that he considers him as such.
Ajay also took a moment to praise Azaad director Abhishek Kapoor, recognizing his incredible ability to nurture and launch new talent. He commended Kapoor for being patient with debutants and for not merely tolerating new talent, but helping them grow and shine on screen.
The actor was full of praise for the debut performances of both Aaman Devgan and Rasha Thadani, expressing how proud he was of their work in the film.
Azaad is set in the pre-independence era, with Ajay Devgn playing a skilled horse rider trying to escape British oppression. His journey to recover a lost horse is aided by Aaman Devgan’s character. Meanwhile, Rasha Thadani plays a royal family member, and Diana Penty stars as Ajay’s love interest. The film, directed by Abhishek Kapoor and produced by Ronnie Screwvala and Pragya Kapoor, is set to release on January 17, 2025.
The movie blends action, emotional depth, and a powerful narrative about love, loyalty, and courage amidst the backdrop of struggle and resistance.
