Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn was in Kolkata to promote Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior at an event held in INOX Leisure LTD (INOX).

The 3D trailer of the film was screened at ScreenX Theater which offered a 270 degree view of the trailer of the upcoming Bollywood film.

The film is a true story which is based on the life of Tanaji Malusare, a 17^th century Maratha military leader. The film stars Ajay Devgn, Kajol and Saif Ali Khan in pivotal roles.

Speaking at the actor, Ajay Devgn said “Not much is written in history books about Tanhaji. So we had to talk with historians and descendants of Tanhaji to derive facts about the individual. That was a laborious process but we found out facts so that to enrich the film. Many people are commenting that we have showed wrong facts in the film. But they need to wait and watch the film before commenting”.

Kajol plays the role of Tanhaji’s wife in the film. When asked about the experience, Ajay Devgn said that it was just like home on the sets of the film. However he also mentioned that it was a pleasure working with her again.

Tanhaji is the 100^th film of the superstar. He added that he was not aware that this was his 100^th film. Ajay mentioned that it was the director of the film who pointed this out. “When I was shooting my first film, I was not sure whether that will be completed. And now I am 100 films old. I have had a satisfying journey in Bollywood” said the actor.

Kids of Lovelock Bastee School were present to experience the cinema and interact with Ajay Devgn. They presented the actor with drawings.
