Ajay Devgn hasn't spoken to Anubhav Sinha for 18 years
What's the story
In a recent interview, filmmaker Anubhav Sinha revealed that he hasn't spoken to actor Ajay Devgn in the last 18 years.
The two worked together on the 2007 film Cash, featuring Suniel Shetty, Esha Deol, Riteish Deshmukh, Zayed Khan, Shamita Shetty, and Dia Mirza.
Despite often working with other actors from the film like Mirza post-Cash, Sinha and Devgn have not reunited professionally since then.
Clarification
Sinha clarified rumors about disagreement with Devgn
Sinha told Lallantop, "We have never fought. He just doesn't speak to me and I have no idea why."
"Since the making of Cash, we haven't even met for me to tell you he ignored me or something. So, maybe, it's just me overthinking."
He also denied any reports of a conflict over a song in Cash that Devgn wanted to feature.
Speculation
Sinha speculated on potential reasons for Devgn's silence
Sinha further added, "However, I did text him a couple of times, and never received a response."
He also clarified that there was no disagreement between them during the production of Cash.
The filmmaker speculated that his comments on people's political views might have upset Devgn. "In between, I did comment on people's political views, so I must have told him something too," he said.
Collaboration
Sinha also discussed the working relationship with Manoj Bajpayee
In the same interview, Sinha also spoke about his past work with actor Manoj Bajpayee on the television series Shikast.
He revealed that Bajpayee was not in the original script but was added later.
However, he was disappointed over Bajpayee's refusal to work with him again, saying that the actor made it clear he would only do music videos with Sinha.
