Ajay Devgn believes that three to four Drishyams would be beneficial to Bollywood.

According to 'Variety,' 'Drishyam 2', starring Ajay Devgn, has brought some much-needed cheer to the beleaguered Bollywood box office with a strong opening worldwide weekend gross of Rs 89 crore.

The suspense thriller, starring Tabu and Akshaye Khanna, is a follow-up to the 2015 hit 'Drishyam.' The Hindi films are remakes of the Malayalam-language 'Drishyam' films (2013 and 2021), which starred Mohanlal. In 2022, Bollywood has been experiencing a box-office slump, and 'Drishyam 2' serves as a tonic to revive it.
"To talk about tonic, I feel it needs three or four Drishyams — that is what is required, I hope this is the beginning," Devgn said in an exclusive interview with 'Variety.' "The bottom line is that entertainment is everything." Also, when I watch a movie, I need to enjoy it, regardless of the emotions it contains," Ajay Devgn said.

"I feel it is not very easy to make entertaining films — you have to keep the audiences engaged for two and a half hours," Ajay Devgn added. And audiences have become very intelligent, so you can't just feed them nonsense. Even when it comes to commercial cinema entertainment, you have to give them something new."

"I want to pick up characters who have done great things and made great sacrifices, and people don't know much about them," Devgn said of his future plans. So we have two or three scripts in the works."

He was referring to his period drama 'Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior,' which was the biggest box office hit in India in 2020. According to 'Variety,' Devgn is now planning to continue the franchise.

"For me, an unsung warrior does not imply sacrifices from that era; it could be someone in today's society." "There are a lot of people who amaze you with the kind of work they do and the sacrifices they make," Ajay Devgn said.

Ajay Devgn's next project is 'Bholaa,' a remake of Lokesh Kanagaraj's 2019 Tamil-language hit 'Kaithi' (Prisoner), which he is also directing. 'Variety' reports that the film is in post-production and will be released in March 2023.

'Maidaan,' a period biographical soccer film based on the life of legendary Indian coach Syed Abdul Rahim, is also set for theatrical release. The film, which also stars Priyamani, Rudranil Ghosh, and Gajraj Rao and features music by A.R. Rahman, is set to be released on February 17, 2023.
