Ajay Devgn and Kajol have maintained a strong bond throughout their 25 years of marriage. They truly embody the saying that opposites attract. Recently, Anees Bazmee, who collaborated with them on his first film, Hungama, shared that he noticed their growing romance right from the start on set.
While speaking with Mashabale India, Anees Bazmee recollected memories of his debut film, Hungama which was released in 1995. Upon being asked about his experience of working with Ajay Devgn and Kajol in his debut film, the filmmaker spoke highly of the actors.
Anees mentioned that he had a great experience working with them. He noted that the two fell in love and eventually got married. Gushing over their “successful marriage,” Bazmee noted that Ajay Devgn and Kajol are totally different from each other. According to him, the Singham Again star tends to be quite serious, and he acknowledged that he often comes across that way.
“He does a lot of masti (fun) too. But mostly he stays calm. Kajol, on the other hand, is very bubbly, and she does a lot of mischief. I realized that they like each other without them saying anything about it. I was very happy that they got married,” he said.
While speaking with Neha Dhupia on her talk show, No Filer Neha in 2018, Kajol revealed how nobody wanted them to get married. She also revealed that her father, the late filmmaker Shomu Mukherjee, didn’t speak to her for a week when she expressed her desire to get married.
“He was just like, ‘Why do you want to get married, you’re so young and your career is doing so well,’ and I was like, ‘But I want to get married!’,” the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai actress had revealed. She also mentioned that she and her husband were very different and a lot of people had doubts about them being a couple. Since, they were not social back then, a lot of people hadn’t met them together to know their bond enough.
Ajay and Kajol met on the sets of Hulchul and after dating for almost 4 years, the couple got married on February 24, 1999. The two are now parents to two kids- Nysa and Yug.

A couple of days back, producer Shailendra Singh in an interview announced the sequel to 2008-cult comedy, Singh Is Kinng. The maker also revealed that Singh Is Kinng 2 will be made without the OG leading man, Akshay Kumar, as he intends to cast either Ranveer Singh or Diljit Dosanjh in the titular role. The news spread like wildfire and also led to a sense of disappointment from the lovers of the first film, who wanted the OG leading man to carry forward the franchise. And now, Pinkvilla has a good-news for all the Akshay Kumar and Singh Is Kinng Fans.
According to sources close to the development, Akshay Kumar’s banner holds 50 percent of the IP for Singh Is Kinng, which means that a sequel to this cult comedy can’t be made without his involvement. “Akshay Kumar owns 50 percent of the IP for Singh Is Kinng. Anyone who wishes to make a part two has to make it with Akshay or needs a NOC from his end to roll without his involvement. Akshay and his team are in no mood to part ways with the rights of Singh Is Kinng and will make a part two when they find a banging script for the same,” revealed a source close to the development.
The source further clarified that Singh Is Kinng 2 can’t be made without Akshay Kumar’s involvement, as being the owner of 50 percent IP, his consent is a must to spin it in a franchise. “The comic franchises in the time to come – from Jolly LLB to Welcome, Housefull & Bhagam Bhag – would be a return gift from his end for all the love over the years,” the source informed.
An official from Akshay Kumar’s legal team confirmed the news saying, “Mr. Akshay Kumar is the co-owner of the film, Singh is Kinng (“Film”) and all the rights, title, interest, etc. of the Film. Any assertions, statements, claims, etc., made by Mr. Shailendra Singh, in the article published in the newspaper, Mid-day on 11th November, 2024, with respect to the Film, are entirely false and untrue. Neither does Mr. Shailendra Singh nor does any other person have any right to produce any prequels or sequels or franchise, etc. to the Film.”
Singh Is Kinng released in 2008 and proved to be a record opener for Akshay Kumar. Even today, the film continues to be in the pop culture with dialogues and music standing the test of times. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
