‘Azaad’ Trailer Launch : Ajay Devgn Gets Candid About His Bond With Nephew Aaman

January 6, 2025: Ajay Devgn, alongside his nephew Aaman Devgan and actress Raveena Tandon’s daughter Rasha Thadani, attended the grand trailer launch of their upcoming film Azaad on Monday. The event was particularly memorable as it marked the debut of both Aaman and Rasha in the film industry, with the trio turning heads as they twinned in striking black outfits.

During the launch, Ajay expressed his emotional attachment to the project, calling it “extremely special.” He spoke fondly of the new talent introduced in the film, saying, “This film is very special to me in many ways. First, because two new actors are being launched in it. Both are very talented. One is the daughter of my colleague and friend, and the other, Aaman, is not like my son, but he is my son.”

Ajay, who has always been a strong mentor to new actors, also praised the film’s director, Abhishek Kapoor, for his ability to successfully launch fresh talent. He added, “Abhishek, who is known to launch new ‘stars,’ I would say, not ‘kids.’ And he has always been successful with that. He has a lot of patience for new people… I won’t say ‘jhelne’ (tolerating), but nurturing them. But they have done very well. All of them.”

The film’s trailer introduces Ajay Devgn in a fierce new avatar as a rebel (baaghi) and a skilled horse rider deeply connected to his loyal steed. The plot takes a dramatic turn when the horse goes missing during a battle against British forces, and Aaman’s character steps in to help find it. The trailer also teases the close bond between Ajay and Aaman’s characters, with the younger actor looking up to his mentor. Meanwhile, Rasha Thadani plays a character from a royal family, adding depth and intrigue to the narrative.

Ajay Devgn had previously spoken about Aaman’s dedication to his craft and his hard work in bringing his character to life. In an earlier conversation with ANI, he praised his nephew, saying, “I have a significant role in his film as well. The trailer has been released, and people are liking it. Fingers crossed. He is a very hardworking boy.”

Set in pre-independence India, Azaad is a period drama that will transport audiences back to a time of rebellion, bravery, and loyalty. Directed by Abhishek Kapoor, the film is slated to hit theatres on January 17, 2025. With a talented cast and an engaging storyline, the film promises to be a significant cinematic experience.

Fans and industry watchers alike are eagerly awaiting Azaad, as Ajay Devgn’s legacy as a mentor and actor continues to shine with this new chapter.
