Actor Ajay Devgn, currently starring in the newly released Raid 2, addressed long-standing gossip about being the first Bollywood celebrity to own a private jet. Speaking on BookMyShow Unscripted, he dismissed the claim, stating, “That’s false. I had plans and even locked in a deal, but it didn’t work out.”
During the same chat, Ajay was asked if Kabir Singh was initially offered to him before Shahid Kapoor. He simply replied, “No.”
Ajay also admitted to another popular perception — his reluctance to do interviews. He confirmed this wasn’t just a rumour, saying, “I’m naturally introverted. I prefer my work to represent me. I’ve been like this since the beginning. Some said I chose the wrong profession because it demands extroversion, but I stayed true to myself. Looking back, I believe it was the right choice.”
Raid 2, directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, is a sequel to the 2018 hit film. Ajay returns as IRS officer Amay Patnaik, on a new mission uncovering financial crimes. Riteish Deshmukh plays the main villain, while Vaani Kapoor steps into the role of Ajay’s wife, previously played by Ileana D’Cruz. The film hit theatres on May 1.
Critics noted that Ajay delivers his signature restrained performance, echoing his recent role in Shaitaan. While his duel with Riteish’s fiery antagonist stands out, some viewers found the second half slow-paced, and the villain’s fall too convenient.
