Ajay Devgn says that he has never internalised his characters. he plays the game by his own rules as a wacky nutjob in All The Best or a political hotshot in Rajneeti

He's under the weather, but committed to the interview. So with a wan smile, Ajay Devgn complies, for the sake of his home production All The Best, releasing this Diwali.

Immediately, he's exasperated by the curiosity over the changing of the spelling of Devgan to Devgn. After all, like Yusuf Khan (Dilip Kumar), Jatin Khanna (Rajesh Khanna), Rajiv Bhatia (Akshay Kumar) and Ravi Kapoor (Jeetendra), Ajay too was Vishal Devgan once and got used to his screen name pretty quickly.

"My family has been asking me to change this for the last 12 years, for my overall well-being. I've been uncomfortable with the idea, mainly because I would have to answer these questions. Eventually, I agreed."

And in the same casual, crisp manner, Ajay makes short shrift of the rest of the interview.

All The Best has you teaming with Rohit Shetty again. It even looks like the sequel, Golmaal 3.
Golmaal 3 is next year. All The Best is different that's why we deliberately didn't cast anyone from Golmaal's line-up.

Maybe people feel this way because it's a comedy, it's Rohit Shetty, it stays in that genre. And if people feel it's Golmaal 3, we'll only benefit from it.
