Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha's Shantanu Feels He And Ajay Devgn Have 'Karmic' Connection - Here's Why

Ajay Devgn and Tabu starrer Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha released on August 2. The movie marked the 10th project of Ajay and Tabu together. However, it also marked the second project of Ajay and Shantanu Maheshwari together after Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Gangubai Kathiawadi. In the recent movie, Shantanu played the younger version of Ajay. Now, in a recent interview, when asked about his experience working with the veteran actor again, Shantanu wonders if they both have a "karmic" connection.

Not just this, in 2017, Shantanu emerged winner of Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi, Pain in Spain - Season 8 and guess what who handed him the trophy - Ajay Devgn.

To be associated with him is truly an honour: Shantanu Maheshwari

In an interview with Pinkvilla, Shantanu revealed why he feels there is a connection between him and Ajay Devgn and also spoke highly about his choice of movies. He shared the instances backing his "karmic connection" statement and said, "He was the one to hand me the Khatron Ke Khiladi trophy when I won the show. His presence in Gangubai, and now me playing the younger version of him in Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha. I mean kuch toh connection hai!”

Praising his understanding of cinema, Shantanu said he "honestly" thinks that Ajay is one of the few superstars who has been "versatile with his choises of projects". He brings credibility to all his movies and owing to this only Shantanu "admires" his work. The actor shared that he is "truly honoured" to be associated with the actor.
