Ajay Devgn remembers father Veeru Devgan on his birth anniversary

Bollywood star Ajay Devgn remembers his legendary father Veeru Devgan, action choreographer and filmmaker, with emotional tribute

"You saw the hero in me... long before the world did. - Ajay Devgn"

Mumbai, June 25

Actor Ajay Devgn remembered his late father Veeru Devgan on his birth anniversary on Wednesday.

The 'Singham' actor took to his official Instagram account and dropped a black and white photograph with his late dad.

Ajay revealed that his father saw a hero in him before anyone else. Wishing him on his birthday, he penned, "You saw the hero in me... long before the world did. Happy Birthday dad. Miss you always."

Veeru Devgan was a part of the Indian film industry as an action choreographer, film director, and producer. Some of his notable work includes, "Roti Kapada Aur Makaan" (1974), "Mr. Natwarlal" (1979), "Kranti" (1981), "Prem Rog" (1982), "Ram Teri Ganga Maili" (1985), "Aaj Ka Arjun" (1990), "Phool Aur Kaante" (1991) and "Jigar" (1992).

Veeru Devgan breathed his last on May 27th, 2019 in Mumbai, at the age of 84. He passes away due to old-age-related illnesses.

Work-wise, Ajay will next be seen playing the lead in "Son of Sardaar 2", where he will be romancing Mrunal Thakur for the first time.

The much-discussed sequel will be released in the cinemas on July 25th.

On Thursday, Ajay used social media to share the release date of the drama.

He took to his official Instagram handle and dropped the new poster from the movie of him in a turban.

"The Return of the Sardaar #SOS2 in cinemas near you on 25th July. #SardaarIsBack #SonOfSardaar2" @mrunalthakur @officialjiostudios @devgnfilms @tseries.official," he captioned the post.

Backed by Jio Studios, in collaboration with Devgn Films, and T-Series, the movie is a sequel to the 2012 hit "Son of Sardaar 2", featuring Ajay and Sonakshi Sinha.

Made under the direction of Vijay Kumar Arora, "Son of Sardaar 2" will be locking horns with Siddharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor-led "Param Sundari" at the box office.

Such a heartfelt tribute! Veeru Devgan was truly a legend behind the scenes. His work in "Phool Aur Kaante" was iconic - that bike scene is still unforgettable. Ajay has carried forward his father's legacy with pride. ❤️

Emotional post! Parents always see potential in us before the world does. Looking forward to SOS2 - Ajay's turban look is giving major Punjabi munda vibes! Hope it lives up to the first part.

Veeru Devgan's contribution to Bollywood action is underrated. The stunts in "Mr. Natwarlal" were ahead of their time. Though I wish Ajay would do more serious roles like "Drishyam" rather than sequels.

Beautiful father-son bond 😊 My dad used to tell me stories about watching Veeru Devgan's films in single-screen theaters. Bollywood has changed so much since then! Excited for SOS2 vs Param Sundari clash - July will be interesting!

Respect! But honestly, Bollywood needs fresh stories rather than endless sequels. Ajay has great potential - would love to see him in more content-driven films. Still, the tribute to his father is touching.

The black & white photo brought tears! Our parents are our first heroes. On another note - Mrunal Thakur and Ajay Devgn pairing seems interesting. Hope the chemistry works!
