Bollywood’s massy actor Ajay Devgn has added another feather in his cap by turning into action director for his upcoming film Bhuj: The Pride of India. As per reports, the original action director Peter Hein is not available due to Coronavirus crisis so in absence of him, director Abhishek Dudhaiya turned to Ajay for help as he is the son of celebrated action director Veeru Devgn and had seen his expertise.

On hearing the plight of director Ajay immediately gave the nod and soon he came up with two action scenes. As per Mid-Day reports, the actor has choreographed a hand-to-hand fight scene and another scene which features Sanjay Dutt and Sharad Kelkar fighting the baddies from the Pakistan army.

They all knew Ajay’s capability and his expertise in mounting a high-octane fight scene, so there was no other better option in the absence of Peter.
