Actor Ajay Devgan, one of Bollywood’s biggest stars, enjoy a large -scale fan. He is currently catching headlines for ‘Raid 2’, who hit theaters on 1 May. Despite mixed reviews from the audience and critics, the film has already recovered its budget within four days and earned more than Rs 70 crore.

Continuing the story of a strict income tax officer, ‘Red 2’ adds to the growing list of movie sequelsAnd this is just the beginning! Over the next two years, he is ready to return to the sequel to ‘D Day Pire Day’, ‘Golmaal’, ‘son of Sardar’, ‘Dhammal’, ‘Shaitan’, and ‘Dravim’. With so many followers in the pipeline, it is clear that Ajay Devgan is re-looking at his fan-pasandida characters and building his own universe.

While Bollywood always has sequel, Devgan stands out to take many of them to completely different styles. Some serious, some funny, and some dark and thrilling thriller, it seems that it is Ajay Devgan’s ‘World’s’ and we are just living in it.

A hero in every style

One of Devgan’s greatest franchise is ‘Singham’, where he plays the role of a fearless police officer. The first film in 2011 became a big hit, which grossed Rs 157.89 crore worldwide, compared to a budget of Rs 40 crore, followed by ‘Singham Return’ and ‘Singham Again’. The series has helped create a big ‘police universe’ with other actors like Ranveer Singh and other actors like Akshay Kumar.

Then the 2015 film is ‘Drisham’, which is a very different story, which grossed Rs 91.97 crore at the Indian box office. Devgan plays the role of Vijay Anngaonkar, who is a simple middle class person, who covers a crime to protect his family. ‘Drishyam 2’ was also a hit, with a total of Rs 286.36 crore gross collection and a foreign gross total of Rs 345.05 crore. Meanwhile, ‘Drishyam 3’ is expected to happen soon. The franchise brings a soft, more emotional side of Devgan, which is contrary to its righteous police act.

And then, the comedy of ‘Golmaal’ and ‘Dhamal’ is anarchy to feast on the audience. While ‘Golmaal 5’ is in works, Devgan is also ready to appear in ‘Dhammal 4’. Light, fun, and slap filled with humor, these are perfect for that switch-off—grain-and-hub-like watch.

Not all sequels work

But not every sequel has been a hit. The ‘son of Sardar’ released in 2012, some success was seen, but many viewers felt that it lacks depth. The announcement of ‘Sardar 2’s son’ did not either discuss much. Released in 2019, ‘Total Dhammal’ received a poor review for its weak comedy and storytelling despite earning a decency at the box office.

It is also important to remember that something Ajay Devgan’s best work Came from original films, not sequel. Films like ‘Khaham’, ‘The Legend of Bhagat Singh’, ‘Omkara’, and recently ‘Tanhaji: The Anasang Warrior’ have shown their border and the ability to take new challenges. These films remind us that Devgan can still surprise the audience without trusting the old characters.

Why so many sequels?

Simple reason for this sequel to this sequel – Bollywood has become more cautious, especially after epidemic. With the growing budget and unexpected viewers’ unexpectedness, producers prefer acquaintances and characters who have performed well in the past. Franchisees feel like a safe bet.

Ajay Devgan, being a consistent artist, fits perfectly in this model. His production house is included in many of his films, giving him creative control. For example, after the success of ‘Sita’, ‘Sita 2’ is already in development.

Sequel also allow Devgan to grow with his audience. In ‘D Day Payer Day’, he played a middle -aged man with love and balance of family. The upcoming sequel continues this story, showing how romance can still be fun and reliable for older characters.

An actor, many worlds

The interesting thing about Devgan’s franchise is how different they are from each other. ‘Singham’ is about law and justice, ‘Dravim’ is about family and sacrifice, ‘Golmaal’ is about fun and madness, and ‘Satan’ belongs to horror and supernatural,

But somehow, the audience follows it in all these styles. It speaks of its image – he is reliable, versatile, and has created faith with his audience over the years. While other actors, such as Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan, are a part of the sequel, Devgan is leading many franchises at the same time and in such different styles.

Instead of constantly reinforcing himself, Devgan has found a way to deepen the roles he already plays. He brings back his characters, with the update that matches the changing times.

‘Singham Again’, ‘Dravim 3’, ‘Golmaal 5’, and others rolled out, Ajay Devgan is proving that continuity can be powerful as a change.

In today’s film industry, where playing it safely works better than taking big risks, Ajay Devgan has cleverly used a sequel to create a loyal fan. Even if the story is not strong, fans still show, mainly to see their popular characters. By solving crimes, chasing the villain, or cracking the jokes, Devgan has created his own world of films, a sequel at a time.
