Big stars like Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar and Ajay, who are in their 40s are still calling the shots in Bollywood and the industry depends on them when it comes to box office.
There are hardly any actors who have managed to challenge their supremacy to which Ajay says, "There is no success mantra as to why we all are still liked and doing well. I think when the audience accepts one actor it is for life, till you stop working. The kind of films that have worked well at the box office in the recent past you can't cast boys in it."
"We have to choose roles depending on the age. We can't do college, romantic hero kind of a film today. No one will come to me with this kind of role and neither will I accept it. Meaty roles are for men and not for kids," he said.
He went on to deliver memorable performances in films like 'Diljale', 'Zakhm', 'Company', 'The Legend of Bhagat Singh', 'Yuva', 'Omkara', 'Once Upon a Time in Mumbai', 'Raajneeti' and 'Singham' among others. He experimented with masala films successfully and gave hits in 'Golmaal' series besides the recent 'Son of Sardar'.
"The journey has been comfortable so far. I did not force myself to do anything. I feel lucky to have got right scripts and to work with right directors and important thing is that these films were accepted by the audience," the 43-year-old said.
