Ajay Devgn's 'Shivaay' to begin shooting in Mussoorie

Bollywood star Ajay Devgn's much-ambitious project "Shivaay" will go on floor on November 7 in Mussoorie.

"Shivaay" not only stars Devgn, 46, in the titular role but is also his second directorial venture after 2008 film "U ME Aur Hum".

The movie introduces Dilip Kumar's grand-niece Sayesha Saigal.

The first schedule of "Shivaay" will begin in Landour, a small cantonment town contiguous with Mussoorie. The unit will then fly to Hyderabad and finally, to Bulgaria where major portions will be filmed.

The filming is happening after almost a year of long planning.

The film, centred around the imperfections of Lord Shiva and how it makes him strong, will see a face-off with Karan Johar's "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil" on Ocotber 28 next year.
