Ajay Devgn and Amitabh Bachchan are all set for their next outing! In a first, Devgn will be directing the senior actor for their upcoming movie. Apart from being the director of the film, Ajay is also going to be involved in the acting process.

Almost seven years after their last movie-outing, these two cinema-veterans join hands for what is described as a 'thrilling, absolute edge-of-the-seat' human-drama titled 'Mayday'.

It is strongly rumoured that Ajay Devgn will be seen in the role of a pilot in the movie. Interestingly, Ajay is also playing an IAF officer in his upcoming movie 'Bhuj: The Pride Of India'.

There are no details yet on Big B's character. The script of the film, however, has been finalized and pre-production work for it has begun. The rest of the cast, too, is still being finalised.

The movie is being produced by Ajay Devgn's Ajay Devgn Ffilms. Apart from producing, Devgn is also directing the film. The actor had turned a director with his movie 'Shivaay', which, a Diwali release, had fared average at the Box Office.

According to sources, 'MayDay' will go on floors this December in Hyderabad after Ajay completes his work on 'Bhuj'.  Bachchan Senior, on the other hand, is currently shooting for KBC. He is also yet to shoot a few of his scenes in Ayan Mukerji's 'Brahmastra'.

Previously, Ajay and Amitabh shared screen space in movies like 'Major Sahab', 'Khakee' and 'Satyagraha'.

On the work front, While Ajay's film 'Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior' is the highest grosser of 2020, Amitabh Bachchan's movie 'Gulabo Sitabo' started the trend of releasing films on OTT platforms. It is available for viewing on Amazon Prime Video.
