Ajay Devgn returned to the direction in 2016 with the big budget action film Shivaay. Shivaay faced a clash with Karan Johar’s directorial Ae Dil Hai Mushkil at the Box Office and didn’t make much money at the Box Office. 

Last year Ajay Devgn directed the thriller Runway 34. Runway 34 also had Amitabh Bachchan and Rakul Preet in the lead roles along with Boman Irani. The film was a disaster at the Box Office. This film was better quality wise than Ajay’s previous 2 releases.

Ajay Devgn has never tasted success at the Box Office as a director. With his upcoming biggie releasing this week, Ajay Devgn is likely to get his first hit as a director. Bholaa is a Hindi adaptation of Tamil flick Kaithi which was directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. Dharmendra Sharma was going to helm this project earlier. Bholaa also stars Tabu in the lead role along with Deepak Dobriyal, Sanjay Mishra, Gajraj Rao, Vineet Kumar and Amala Paul. The film is all set to release on 30th March.
