Ajay Devgn makes his entry into the Dhamaal franchise with the upcoming instalment, Total Dhamaal. Directed by Indra Kumar, the ensemble comedy also stars Anil Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, Jaaved Jaaferi and Sanjay Mishra.

In a recent statement, Indra Kumar confirmed that Ajay Devgn will continue be a part of franchise in upcoming films. “A talented actor like Ajay can be moulded repeatedly in different ways. He has been around for three decades and given us many comedies, but no two films of his have been alike. This film too will present him in a never-seen-before avatar. Without his support, Total Dhamaal wouldn’t have been made, as he is involved both creatively and financially. He will continue to be a part of this franchise from hereon.”    

Speaking about the film’s massive cast, the director added, “It was nostalgic as I was teaming up with Ajay, Anil and Madhuri after a long time. There was no trouble getting any of the actors on board because their tracks had them laughing out loud. It took just one narration to get the cast in place. And, as a director, I’ve played to everyone’s strengths.”

Total Dhamaal is co-produced by Fox Star Studios, Ajay Devgn FFilms and Pen India Limited. The film is scheduled for release on February 22.
