Here's everything we know so far about Ajay Devgn and Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Mayday
Mayday to go on floors from December 2020
Bollywood actor-director Ajay Devgn is all set to direct Amitabh Bachchan in an upcoming film titled Mayday. The film is said to be a thrilling, edge-of-the-seat drama. Ajay Devgn's production company, Ajay Devgn Films, has bankrolled the project. The makers will start filming Mayday in December in Hyderabad.
The plot
Mayday is set to be a human drama where Ajay will reportedly be essaying the role of a pilot. The details about Bachchan's character are yet to be revealed.
As per media reports, "Ajay Devgn will not only play the lead in the film along with Big B but also direct the film. This will also be the first time Ajay will be directing Bachchan Saab on celluloid. When he was scripting for his next directorial venture, he immediately thought of Amit Ji and wanted him only for the role. Mayday is a thrilling human story which Big B loved, and he agreed to be part of the project when he got the offer from Ajay."
