Ajay Devgn speaks five languages

In his upcoming film Himmatwala, you will see Ajay Devgn speaking in five different languages. In one particular scene, Ajay has delivered dialogues in Bengali, Gujarati, Marathi, Punjabi and Tamil. He took special training to get the accent and the tone right, says a source.

Director Sajid Khan confirms, “Yes, Ajay has spoken in five languages in one particular scene where the heroine (Tamannah) gets some goons to beat him up. All those guys belong to different regions. One is from Punjab, another is from Tamil Nadu, yet another from Gujarat, Maharashtra and Bengal. They challenge him to a duel in their own languages. That’s when Tamannah asks Ajay’s character what will he do as he doesn’t understand what they are saying. Ajay not only beats them up but later answers all of them in their respective languages.”

Sajid wanted to incorporate this scene specially because it will give an all-India feel. Ajay is said to be fluent in Marathi, Gujarati and Punjabi but for Tamil and Bengali, Sajid hired a tutor. “It’s not just a word that he says, it’s an entire dialogue which is why I got a tutor on the sets,” says Sajid who shot the scene in two hours.
