Ajay wants ‘Shivaay’ to match Hollywood level

Actor Ajay Devgn says he has no intentions to compete with Hollywood through his upcoming film "Shivaay," but wanted to make a movie which matches global standards.

The action-adventure project features Devgn in the lead role and will see him doing high-octane stunts shot in India and Bulgaria.

When asked if "Shivaay" can give competition to Hollywood, Devgn told reporters, "The intention is not to give tough competition to Hollywood, but to raise our bar. If they can make it at that level, we can also make it at that level. That is the intention."

"It was the idea of several fan clubs to launch the trailer like this, with them. They came to me with this idea, called me, and here I am. They executed it and I just helped them a little bit," he said.

"Shivaay" has been produced and directed by Devgn. It is his second directorial venture after the 2008 romantic-drama "U Me Aur Hum".

The movie marks the acting debut of Sayyeshaa Saigal, grand niece of veteran actor Dilip Kumar. "Shivaay" is scheduled to release on October 28.
