After 7 years, Ajay Devgn is back as a romantic hero with Anees Bazmee's film

Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn has signed an Anees Bazmee's romantic drama film. Off lately, the actor has built his niche as an action hero in Bollywood with films like Action Jackson, Himmatwala and the Singham franchise.

The last time he was seen doing romance on screen was in the year 2008, in his own home production U Me Aur Hum.

Talking about his film, Bazmee said "There is a love story that I am working on. It's a different love story. I have discussed it with Ajay and he will be a part of it."

"I am also working on a comedy film. I will narrate this story as well to Ajay, if he likes we will do it. It will be a big masala entertainer film. Then I also have an idea for a suspense thriller film... It is an original film," he said.

It is not clear which film Bazmee will start first.

Bazmee's Hulchul (1995), an action film, had Vinod Khanna, Ajay Devgn and Kajol in the lead.

Later, Bazmee and Ajay teamed up again for Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha (1998), a romantic-comedy. They again came together with Deewangee (2002), a psychological thriller featuring Ajay, Akshaye Khanna and Urmila Matondkar.

"We have been good friends... We respect each other, share a great comfort level. We want to work together," said Bazmee.

The director is looking forward to the release of his film Welcome Back in September.
