Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt to tickle your funny bone with Rascals, releasing today

Looks like Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgn’s camaraderie has worked wonders for David Dhawan’s 40th release, Rascals. Sanju, who has done many comedy films with Govinda, says, “Govinda and I had a great comfort level and comic timing, but with Ajay it is better.”

When Sanju launched his first home production Rascals, Ajay willingly supported his buddy. “For a comedy, you have to gel well with your partner. You have to be selfless and like the other person,” says Ajay.

Known for their love for pranks, Sanjay says lots of people in the industry are scared to work with them because of it! And both have taken one tip from each other —keep a poker face and take everybody’s pants off. “Sanju is one of the most senior rascals in the industry. There are certain things he’s done that I can’t even talk about!” laughs Ajay. While Sanjay adds, “Ajay and I don’t play pranks on each other, we play pranks on others.” With Rascals releasing today, we wonder what the anxiety level is among the cast and crew. “I do get anxious and curious about the box office collections, but I never panic. I didn’t get tense even on the day of my first release,” says Ajay.

For Sanju, release day is like any other day. In fact, he is actually shooting today — that’s how chilled out he is about it.
