Is Ajay Devgn in or out?

The casting game around director Luv Ranjan’s next film has been going on for quite some time. There is a righteous school of thought that believes Ranjan’s cast for his next film — Ajay Devgn, Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone — has had second thoughts since he has been accused in the #MeToo movement.

Latest reports suggest that Devgn has opted out. But according to sources close to the project, this is untrue.

“Ajay is very much a part of Luv Ranjan’s next. They worked well together in De De Pyaar De and they are most eager about their next collaboration. The only problem is with the #MeToo accusation. But then, the accuser has taken no legal recourse, and the film industry has taken a decision to boycott only those who are proven guilty,” says the source.

Earlier, Deepika Padukone also reportedly opted out of Luv Ranjan’s film, but that turned out to be a false alarm.
