Devgan's actress wife will not be part of his second directorial venture

Kajol won't be part of her husband Ajay Devgan's second directorial venture. And not just because she's busy with her pal Karan Johar's film My Name Is Khan in Los Angeles.

Says Ajay, "I'm directing a film in mid-2009. There is no role for Kajol in my next film. The leading lady's role doesn't suit her," says Devgan.

Back in action

This time, as a director, Ajay wants to return to his roots. "I haven't done a full-on action film for ages. My next film as a director would be an actioner with an undercurrent of dark humour.

Even Milan Luthria's film that I'm acting in, is an action film. I believe audiences want to see me back in action.

The action in my directorial venture will be something unusual." adds Ajay whose debuted as a director with U Me Aur Hum.

Enjoying London

Ajay is presently working on his next project, " I'm right now neck-deep in producing my next film and putting together my next directorial venture." He is also gung-ho about London Dreams with Salman Khan. Devgan plays a musician in London Dreams. And it required him to alter his looks. "I needed to look cooler.

So I cut my hair, and grew a stubble. Salman and I play very close friends, so naturally we had to have a certain amount of bonding between us. But that's it. What I really enjoyed was shooting in London at one go. No distractions.

Vipul is one of the most organized filmmakers I've worked out. And I didn't get much of a chance to miss my family. Kajol and my daughter came for a visit."
