I would`ve been fed up with intense roles: Ajay Devgn

Mumbai: Doing just intense roles can get quite boring, believes Ajay Devgn who is happy to have worn a different hat in the out and out comedy `All The Best` even as he is on home ground in `London Dreams`. "It`s a great feeling that at this stage of my career I am being seen in movies as diverse as `London Dreams` and `All The Best`. At one point of time, I was doing only intense roles," said Ajay.

"But, believe me, if I had continued doing that till date with every film, I would have been really bored and fed up by now." His `London Dreams` co-star Asin has said it is Ajay`s "intensity quotient" that strikes one most as an actor. She also said when it comes to dramatic scenes, he just "eats up the screen". But Ajay says humbly, "I don`t really know if I eat up the screen or do anything like that in my dramatic scenes. Yes, intensity has been my forte and I take her views as a compliment. But, as I said, I am loving this phase of my career where I am able to work on diverse films." In the pipeline are films like `Rajneeti`, `Once Upon a Time in Mumbai`, Priyadarshan`s next film, `Atithi Tum Kab Jaaoge`, `Toonpur Ka Superhero` and a sequel to `Golmaal` or `All The Best`. Clearly, the man is enjoying his status as an actor who can work in diverse genres. One can also not deny the contribution of Rohit Shetty to Ajay`s career. A friend and pretty much a resident director, Rohit has now delivered three successful comedy films with the actor - `All The Best`, `Golmaal Returns` and `Golmaal`. "Yes, as far as comedy is concerned, Rohit has definitely given a new dimension to my career," agrees Ajay. "I am very comfortable with him and he is someone I really trust. I am looking forward to what he comes up with next in the `All The Best` and `Golmaal` sequels. We have managed to get a good team working here." Regarding his own directorial stint though, he hasn`t quite finalised a film yet. "I am still working on my next film," says Ajay. "People do ask me a question: since I started with an action film (`Phool Aur Kaante`), would I be directing an action film next? Well, I am yet to look into it and will be making an announcement at a later stage." IANS
