For Ajay Devgn, this year is a real challenge.

- Five films of Ajay are going to be released in a single year. If even three of these five films run, Ajay will be everywhere... Ajay will be gone!

2024 is going to be an eventful year for Ajay Devgan in Bo Liwood. This intense actor, who has a career of three decades, released only one film 'Bhola' last year, but this year he has five films each. Also, three of these films will be released within a period of one to one and a half months.

Ajay Devgan's filmography this year begins with the supernatural thriller Shaitaan, a remake of the Gujarati film Vash. After that, Amit Sharma's sports drama 'Maidan' will release in April. 'Maidan' was actually supposed to release much earlier, but it has been pushed back to 2024. Ajay and Tabu's romantic drama film 'Auro Mein Kahan Dum Tha' will release at the end of April.

The question is, won't these films that are being released above compete with each other? Given the breadth of Ajay Devgan's career, two important factors will work in his favour. First is that Ajay Devgn is a smart actor. He is a connoisseur of commercial cinema. There is a lot of variety in all these three films, which is a big plus point. Another factor is that no top star films like Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Ranbir Kapoor or Ranveer Singh are going to release during this period. So Ajay's films will not face competition from any top hero.

Actors generally do not have control over the release dates of their films. This decision has to be taken by the producers and they decide the release date considering many factors. No star wants his films to compete with each other. According to distributors there should be a gap of ten to twelve weeks between two films of any star. However, when a film turns out to be a hit, everything else becomes secondary.

Analysts, however, agree on one thing that the release dates of films do not matter to a star of Ajay Devgn's stature. Any star is influenced more by the box office performance of his films, not the release dates. As for Ajay's remaining two films, Rohit Shetty's 'Singham Again' will be released in August this year and 'Raid-Two' will be released by Varshant.

If the theater owners want either of these to be released in May or June, great. A theater owner loses a huge opportunity when a superstar's film turns out to be weak. However, most theater owners are optimistic about Ajay Devgn's films. One thing out of a hundred. In 2024, Ajay Devgn will be overshadowed.
