A report by India Today quoted Ajay Devgn confirming the same, “I was approached for the lead role… but we couldn’t agree on the terms and conditions… dates, money everything.”
However, when he was told about SLB’s reason for rejecting Ajay Devgn, the actor was taken by surprise, as he said, “What you are saying is something I am hearing for the first time. While Singham Returns has been released now, Sanjay’s film will release in December next year so there’s a lot of time for people to forget about Bajirao Singham (laughs). What is wrong with admitting that we couldn’t agree on the T&C? (terms and conditions) Let’s be honest about that. Even I can make better excuses!” as quoted by Koi Moi
For the unversed, SLB stated that he rejected Ajay Devgn for the role for he’s got the same name in his previous movies too ‘Singham’ as Bajirao Singham.
