Ajay Devgn: I'm not worried about joining the '200 crore club
He feels that films do make an impact on the society and hopes his audience takes back "something positive" from his films. Ajay Devgn, who was in Ahmedabad recently to promote his upcoming film Singham Returns, spoke about his camaraderie with Rohit Shetty, the impact of films on the society and more. Excerpts from a chat:
You've played a cop in various films and have done roles that do inspire people at certain level. Do you think films can make a difference in the society? I don't know if films can be instrumental in bringing any social change, but every time something bad happens, people are quick to point that films are making a negative impact on youngsters. So in the same light I would like to take the credit that films do make a positive impact on the society. I am sure people take something positive after watching our films. But any change would not come about through one person, we all need to come together to bring out the change we want in the society.

You made your Bollywood debut along with Rohit Shetty with Phool Aur Kaante. Since then both of you have come a long way. It has been great working with Rohit. In all these years he has matured a great deal. From the time he started off till now, Rohit seems to have come to know his audience really well and he only makes films for his audience. He doesn't care about what the critics have to say about his kind of cinema and that's why he is doing so well.
Only recently, Salman Khan's Kick has reportedly joined the '200 crore mark. Do you want your film to join that mark too? I don't feel any pressure of the 200 crore mark. It doesn't matter to me. The only thing that's important to me is that the audience should like the film and if they do, it will surely do well.
