Ajay Devgan gears up for June 7

At a press conference held at Mumbai's J W Mariott, brother of late Bhagat Singh, Kultar, said that he was happy with the way Ajay Devgan portrayed the martyr in Rajkumar Santoshi's The Legend Of Bhagat Singh.

Kultar Singh said that Santoshi had done a huge favour on him by making this film. Santoshi replied, "This is not a favour, but a small contribution towards Bhagat Singh, who was not done justice to."

Santoshi added that he was very happy that four films were coming up on the martyr. He saw no competition but felt proud that the 'legend' will finally be known to every single citizen through all the films and that would be a big achievement.

Among the cast, Ajay Devgan, Sushant Singh, Akhilendra Mishra, Amrita Rao, Farida Jalal and Mukesh Tiwari were present, along with singers Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik. Friends Vashu Bhagnani, Rajiv Rai and Anil Kapoor also attended the event.
