Ajay Devgn expressed his views on the current state of masculinity in the film industry, noting that today's actors seem more like "boys" than "men." He reflected on the earlier generation of actors, such as Jackie Shroff and Amitabh Bachchan, who had a commanding and dominating male presence both on and off-screen. In a conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia, Ajay stated, “In today’s world, you don’t see a dominating male personality. All are boys; you don’t see men-men.”
He pointed out that previous actors like Akshay Kumar and Sunny Deol had performances that made audiences believe in their strength and power. “When Akshay Kumar was thrashing ten people or Sunny Deol was pulling out a hand pump, we would clap because we believed they could do it,” he said, contrasting it with today’s generation, where such feats no longer evoke the same level of belief. Ajay clarified that his comments weren't aimed at any particular individual, but rather a shift in society's mindset and upbringing, which affects how people present themselves in the industry.
Ajay Devgn was last seen in the highly anticipated Singham Again, which faced off at the box office with Kartik Aaryan's Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 on November 1.
