Ajay Devgn
After facing flak for visiting the Shiv temple in Mandvi in the Kutch district of Gujarat in shorts last week (below), Ajay Devgn was again spotted at the shrine. He made sure he was formally dressed. As reported in 'Shortcut to divine intervention' (Hitlist, August 1), devotees felt he should have shown respect and dressed appropriately, especially since he calls himself a Shiva devotee.

Talking about the same, a source informed mid-day that the team is shooting for an important dance sequence for the film. "The unit arrived in Mandvi later in July. A huge set was erected at the venue for the song. Composed by Amar Mohile and choreographed by Ganesh Acharya, the number was shot as a maha aarti where the villagers and jawans of the Indian Air Force and Border Security Forces are praying for the success of Ajay's mission. The song opens with Ajay and Sonakshi offering their prayers to Lord Ganesha."
The upcoming drama, Bhuj: The Pride of India based on the Indo-Pak war, occurred in 1971. The makers are all buckled up to recreate the entire scenario and get the war settings right without compromising. Directed by Abhishek Dudhaiya, the forthcoming movie is also being shot at Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad.
