'Ajay Devgn hasn't spoken to me for 18 years', says director Anubhav Sinha

Ace director Anubhav Sinha recently revealed that he hasn’t spoken with Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn for a really long time. The director known for his penchant for films that can start meaningful conversations over society’s perils, spoke about rumours circling around tensions with Ajay Devgn. 

"We have never fought. He just doesn't speak to me and I have no idea why," Sinha said, addressing the rumours.

"Since the making of Cash, we haven't even met for me to tell you he ignored me or something. So, maybe, it's just me overthinking."

Sinha and Devgn last worked together in Cash, which was made 18 years ago. 

Anubhav also added that he sent messages to the acor but he never responded.

Anubhav said, "I did text him a couple of times, and never received a response, so I told myself that maybe it slipped his mind or he must have missed my message. But, it's been about 18 years since we have spoken."

In 2007, Sinha directed Devgn for Cash, which also starred Suniel Shetty, Esha Deol, Riteish Deshmukh, Zayed Khan, Shamita Shetty, and Dia Mirza. The film didn't achieve box office success.

When asked if he ever had creative differences with the actor, Anubhav Sinha said he never fought with the actor. "We never had any disagreement between us. It was the producer and financier who had a disagreement. I was neither." 

When asked if there was any disagreement over a song, in which Ajay Devgn wanted to feature, the filmmaker said, "There was no disagreement over any song, not that I know... This is not true."

Anubhav Sinha’s last film was with OTT giant Netflix. He made IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack which was released in 2024.
