Bollywood star Ajay Devgn is all set to make his directorial debut with 'Shivay', which he says will feature actors from abroad.
The 45-year-old actor, who will also produce and star in the action-drama, said that the film will go on floors in February next year.
"I will star in the film, which is my home production. Ninety per cent of the cast in the movie is from abroad. The genre of the film is action drama. We will begin shooting in February next year," Devgn said.
The 'Singham' star will be next seen in choreographer-turned-director Prabhudeva's 'Action Jackson' along side Sonakshi Sinha. He said that he is happy to see the response the movie's trailer and songs have received.
"People do look for an entertaining film but at the same time they want to see something different. 'Action Jackson' has that. Prabhu has given a different look to the film. The positive response to the promos and songs also reciprocate that," he said.
When asked why he decided to collaborate with Prabhudeva, Devgn said he is a fan of the filmmaker and has always enjoyed watching his films like 'Wanted', 'Rowdy Rathore' and R...Rajkumar'.
"I like his way of directing films. I like the poker faced comedy of his films. I am very fond of his comic timing and stylised action," said Devgn.
'Action Jackson' also stars Yami Gautam and Manasvi Mamgai and will hit theatres on December 5.
