Undeterred by the failure of his debut directorial venture, U, ME AUR HUM, Ajay Devgan is ready to start work on his next project soon. While briefing the media about his next release, Prakash Jha's RAJNEETI, Ajay disclosed that he is all set to try his hands at directing another film very soon. The answer was in response to a question by a scribe who asked Ajay whether the failure of his first directorial venture, U, ME AUR HUM, had been instrumental in him not announcing his next directorial venture soon.

Ajay sounded very optimistic about his return to direction and said that he was not scared of failure and instead looks deeply and analysis the reasons for the failure and then tries his level best not to make the same mistakes once again. Ajay added that he strongly believes that the best way to succeed in life is not to get bogged down by failure but try and try until one is successful. He also sounded very sure of not repeating the mistakes that he made in U, ME AUR HUM in his next directorial venture.
Well, looks like Ajay is a strong advocator of the proverb, 'Failure is the stepping stone to success', and this is something that all his fans and the general public can learn and emulate in life.

Director Rohit Shetty is busy shooting his new comedy
The sequel to Golmaal and Golmaal Returns, director Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal 3 is fast progressing on the famous Canacona beach in Goa where the entire cast comprising Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Kunal Khemu, Shreyas Talpade and Tusshar Kapoor are participating. Mithun Chakraborty and Ratna Pathak Shah will soon be joining the team. Some scenes on the entire cast and comic fight sequences featuring Ajay, Kareena and Shreyas have been canned. A song composed by Pritam and choreographed by Rajeev Surti was shot all over the picturesque locales of Goa. Two sets have been erected on the beach. While one is Ajay’s house, the other is quite colourful and comprises some shacks, shops as well as water boating facility. During breaks, the actors indulged in jet-skiing on the beach.

The cast and crew is staying at The Grand Intercontinental Hotel in Canacona and shooting on its private beach since March 28. The unit has been taking short breaks. Recently, Rohit came to Mumbai on April 11 to celebrate his young son Ishaan’s birthday and was back at work the next day. Ajay and Kareena took a two-day break to come back home to celebrate Kareena’s mother Babita and Ajay’s daughter Nysa’s birthday on April 20. The Goa schedule will go on till May 28 and after a short break, the unit will shift to Hyderabad for a 10-15 days spell wherein some scenes and a couple of songs will be canned.
Produced by Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd, the film will be ready for a Diwali release.

Ajay's new avatar
Ajay Devgn will sport a brand new look for Golmaal 3 which is currently been shot in Goa. He's gone rugged, more macho and grungy, with a stubble, a buzz cut, diamond ear-studs and tattoos! Director Rohit Shetty who has conceptualized Ajay's look said, "Ajay plays a hyper character who loses his temper very quickly, because of which everyone is scared of him. People never know whether he will laugh or snap at them. I wanted this character to look completely different from any other character he has done before. He has been working hard on his body, so I wanted him to flaunt that too," said Shetty, adding that Ajay himself took a keen interest in the styling, including the choice of the tattoo on his neck. The tattoo is of a Celtic or tribal trishul. According to Aalim of Aalim Studio, who designed the tattoo, it's very daring to have a tattoo on the neck, even if it's temporary.
Rohit has even styled the other cast members of the movie like Kareena Kapoor's tomboy look and Tusshar Kapoor's tapori get-up and will work on Arshad Warsi too.
