It was earlier expected that Ajay Devgn starrer ‘Action Jackson’ helmed by Prabhudheva will hit the silver screens before 2014 ends. However, the climax of the film will be shot not before July, because of the intricacy involved, and also because Ajay has allotted all his dates to Rohit Shetty’s ‘Singham Returns’. Due to this, the post production activities of the film will be delayed, thereby pushing the release date of ‘Action Jackson’.

 

According to a source close to ‘Action Jackson’, "This is the way Ajay planned the releases. He wants to complete ‘Singham Returns’ first. The climax of ‘Action Jackson’ which is pending would now be shot in the monsoon.

 

This obviously has brought a lot of worries for Prabhudheva. "It's a very tough climax involving a large volume of cast, crew, finances and labour. But July would also be the time for torrential rains. So I am keeping my fingers crossed that nothing goes wrong."

 

Prabhu is not unwarranted in his anxiety. Several supposed blockbusters in the past have had their crucial schedules washed away by the rains.

 

According to the grapevine, Prabhu wants the July climax to be shot in Hyderabad instead of Film City in Mumbai. However, the producers insist on Mumbai.

 

Says Prabhu,"We had no choice but to shift the climax to July, as Ajay is busy with ‘Singham Returns’. But I'm sure everything will be fine. This is the first time I've worked with Ajay Devgn and I can tell you for sure this is going to be one of his most special films. Not only are his action sequences in ‘Action Jackson’unique, Ajay has also done a straight-faced humour here which would bring the roof down. No matter when we release Ajay's fans will be happy."
