I've been a big Ajay Devgn fan: Tamannah Bhatia

Southern actress Tamannah Bhatia, who is making her Bollywood debut opposite Ajay Devgn in Sajid Khan's "Himmatwala (2013)", says she always admired the actor, but admits she has started respecting him even more after working with him.

"I have been a big fan of him (Ajay), and after working with him, I have started respecting him more," the 24-year-old said here in an interview.

"Apart from the brilliant actor that he is, he is a very good person and a very honest human being. I have learnt a lot from him," she added.

Listing some of Ajay's films, which she likes the most, Tamannah said, "Ajay is a very versatile actor. He has done so many roles. I liked him in 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam', I liked him in 'Omkara'."

"He is a very intense performer. All of his all films are good. In 'Golmaal', he did such a great comic role," Tamannah added.

"I think all the characters suit him a lot."

"Himmatwala" is a remake of 1983 hit of the same name, which starred Jeetendra and Sridevi. The new film releases March 29.
