Meanwhile, the 51-year-old actor's team had also shared a statement of his spokesperson, on social media, which read, "After the promotion of Tanhaji-The Unsung Warrior in January 2020, actor-filmmaker Ajay Devgn has not visited Delhi. All these videos and media shares of the brawl involving him outside a Delhi pub are absolutely baseless and untrue. We request news agencies and people to please stop sharing fake news that could hurt the reputation of an actor. Note that Mr Devgn has been in Mumbai the entire time shooting for Maidaan, MayDay and Gangubai Kathiawadi and he hasn’t set foot in the capital in 14 months. Request all media to please cross-check before putting out anything".
