Bollywood star Ajay Devgn has started feeling the heat well before changing roles from actor to investor. The film star recently met Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh at an investor meet in Mumbai and expressed his interest in investing in a solar energy project in the state. A photograph of Devgn with Singh was prominently published in local newspapers in Chhattisgarh. Soon after, the actor started receiving calls from Chhattisgarh in connection with land and other requirements, which he will need to meet to set up the plant. Fed up with the calls, Devgn has reportedly complained to senior officials in the state government. Perhaps he’s paying the price for being a high-voltage star.
