NEW DEHLI: Actor Ajay Devgn will be seen speaking in five languages in his forthcoming movie Himmatwala. The actor will speak the various languages during an action scene in the remake film of 1983 blockbuster of the same name.

In the film, five goons from five different states come to beat Ajay, and all of them speak a dialogue. After bashing them up, Ajay repeats their dialogues in their language. “I have kept subtitles so that people can understand it,” said director Sajid Khan in a group interview.

“I wrote the lines in English and Ajay mugged them up like a parrot and delivered them,” said Sajid while also adding that for dubbing, Ajay took his assistants’ help. “We got in two or three different people. One of my assistants speaks Punjabi, another who is Tamil and one of them is a Bengali — they helped him [Ajay] with correct pronunciation. They are proper dialogues,” he added.

For Sajid, who has given blockbusters like Heyy Baby, Housefull and Housefull 2 in the past, there is a reason for adding so many languages in the movie.

“I believe in Manmohan Desai school [of film-making]; his kind of masala,” said the young director. Sajid also added that he grew up in a multi-cultural environment.

“I am a Muslim, my mom is a Parsi, I went to Gujarati school, I grew up with Maharashtrian friends and my neighbours were Bengali, Sindhi, Punjabi, Sardar and Catholic. So we can talk in other languages,” said Sajid while sharing his multicultural environment. “That is the reason I keep colloquial language in my films.”

Himmatwala also stars South Indian female actor Tammannah and is set to release March 29.
