Devgan: "I'm not just a comic actor"

Ajay Devgan has said that he wants to be known as more than a comic actor.

The star of comedies such as All the Best and Atithi Tum Jab Jaoge has said that he has always tried to show off all his acting skills in films of different genres.

In an interview with The Times of India, Devgan said: "Unlike other actors who have made one genre their forte, I have always mixed and matched my cinema. And I have thoroughly enjoyed whatever work I have taken on."

He added: "My next release could be Milan Luthria’s Once Upon a Time in Mumbai that is in the Company genre. Then there is Toonpur Ka Superhero that will perhaps have more appeal for children."

However, his next film will be the third of the Golmaal series, about the escapades of a hapless quartet of college buddies.

Devgan has received critical acclaim for playing the title role in Omkara, a Bollywood adaptation of Othello, as well as having success with his directorial debut U Me Aur Hum.
