He described Ajay Devgn as a simple person and that even though he has an imposing persona it never really felt like there was a star on set, for both him and the crew. 

He said the reason he chose Ajay for the role was because of the honesty he displays on-screen or off-screen. Rajamouli texted the Bollywood star about the role and had gotten a reply and when he narrated the script in Mumbai, he got an immediate ok from the actor. Rajamouli revealed what Ajay Devgn is like on set, "He comes simply, he learns his lines, he delivers his lines. He asks me how he should act. Like a newcomer, he will ask me how he should perform. Even though he knows what he should do he will still ask." 

Rajamouli elaborated saying that he would never go to his caravan except to change his clothes and he would eat under a tree. Reciting an incident, he said that when they were at the end of the shoot but there were many scenes left to shoot, the director told the cast and crew that nobody would get a break except Ajay Devgn, they were speaking in Telugu. The actor, however, caught on and refused to take a break as well. 

With this kind of sincerity, we can only imagine what's going to emerge on the screen when the actor and director come together. Not to mention the stellar cast of Alia Bhatt, Ram Charan and NTR. It's safe to bet that the audience can't wait.
