As Raju Chacha clocked 23 today, December 21, actor Ajay Devgn took to his social media handle and penned a sweet note. For the unversed, the action comedy film marked the debut of Ajay’s cousin Anil Devgan. To celebrate the milestone, Ajay shared a photo on his Instagram feed, which featured the three-part cassettes of Raju Chacha.
“Reflecting on 23 years of #RajuChacha, a film that holds my heart for many reasons,” wrote Devgn, followed by a red-heart emoticon. He further stated that his cousin Anil’s directorial debut “paved the way” for him to “embody Raju, a man deeply rooted in emotion, despite walking on the wrong side of the law.”
“This movie gave me the opportunity to work with kids for the first time, who made things so much more fun on set, and to share the screen with Rishi Ji for the very first time, a memory I’ll always hold close to my heart,” read an excerpt of his caption. The actor-turned-filmmaker also gave a shout-out to his co-star and wife Kajol for being his “steadfast partner, on and off screen, offering unwavering support.” He concluded his post by exclaiming, “As I look back, I can only feel gratitude for having been a part of this film!”
