Ajay Devgn, Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Mayday goes on floors 

Ajay Devgn on Friday revealed that his directorial venture Mayday, in which he stars alongside Amitabh Bachchan and Rakul Preet Singh, went on the floors in Hyderabad.

Devgn, who is also the film's producer, took to Twitter to share the news. He posted a picture of the film’s clapperboard and wrote, “Happy to officially begin Mayday in a start-to-finish shooting schedule. Seek blessings from the almighty and my parents. Nothing is complete without the support of all my fans, family and well-wishers. Releases on 29 April 2022 (sic).” 

When the film was announced last month, it was described as a “thrilling, absolute edge-of-the-seat human-drama.”

The film sees Devgn play a pilot while Bachchan and Singh's characters are being kept under wraps. 

Mayday sees Devgn's return to the director’s chair after Shivaay (2016). This is his seventh collaboration with Bachchan as an actor after Major Saab (1998), Hindustan Ki Kasam (1999), Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahin (2002), Khakee (2004), Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag (2007) and Satyagraha (2013). 

Just recently, the makers had announced that actress Angira Dhar would be joining the cast.
