About Ajay Devgn
Ajay Devgn, born Vishal Veeru Devgan on April 2, 1969, in New Delhi, is one of Bollywood’s most bankable action stars and producers. The son of legendary stunt choreographer Veeru Devgan, he debuted in 1992 with the romantic-actioner Phool Aur Kaante, instantly winning the Filmfare Best Male Debut award for his iconic split-screen entry. Across three decades, Ajay has anchored some of Hindi cinema’s biggest commercial franchises — the Singham, Golmaal, and Drishyam series — while delivering powerful dramatic turns in Omkara, The Legend of Bhagat Singh, Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai, and the National Award-winning historical epic Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior.
Beyond acting, he co-owns Ajay Devgn FFilms with his wife Kajol, producing hits like U Me Aur Hum and the Drishyam franchise. He also owns Viacom 18’s NY VFXWaala and runs a chain of restaurants under the banner ‘Manish Dhawan’. Named among the highest-paid Indian actors, his disciplined craft, restrained screen presence and rare box-office consistency have made him a producer-actor force to reckon with.
