Keeping his fingers crossed ahead of the release of his directorial debut U, Me aur Hum, Bollywood actor Ajay Devgan says he is going to continue directing good entertaining movies whether the film clicks or not at the box office.
Devgan says that for him it was not a major shift from acting to direction as he believes that he is a born director and has that fire within him.
"I started my career directing small budget films, so it was not a major change. In my early days, apart from acting in movies, I tried my hand in production, direction, music composing and all," Devgan says.
"I assisted my father in his directorial ventures several times and both of us knew that I have the flame in me to develop an idea and give it a shape. But then, I became an actor and didn't get the time to direct."
Devgan is very positive about the success of his first directorial attempt. He believes he has done justice with the script and has come out with a entertaining story.
"I will continue with direction as it is my favourite hobby or you can say a passion. I will not make a movie only for the sake of it, but will do it only when a right script will come my way," says the actor, who has won two national awards for best actor for his role in Zakhm, and Legend of Bhagat Singh.
But that does not mean curtains down for him as an actor as Devgan says his acting career will continue side-by-side.
Though a veteran in Bollywood, Devgan hopes that the film, in which his wife Kajol co-stars him, will be an entertainer.
"We all in the team have put our heart out in making this film. It is very close to my heart," he says.
He was all praise for wife Kajol when asked about the experience directing her. "Kajol is a wonderful actress to work with and I couldn't have imagined any other actress playing her role," he says.
"She managed such a difficult character with ease that she made it look very simple. I am not saying this as a husband, but from the point of view of director," says Devgan, who has won much critical acclaim for playing intense roles in films like Omkara, Raincoat, Apaharan and Yuva.
U, Me aur Hum is all about relationship, about love, commitments and life. You will find every thing in this movie, which is close to my heart. I want cine lovers to feel nice and romantic when they come out of the theatres, he says.
