Actor Shreyas has come in association with Priyadarshan for the first time and he seems to be quite happy

He is quite a task master. For me, working with Priyan Sir have been revelations. It has been a great experience as you have to keep reinventing yourself and he gave me an opportunity to do just that.”

Ajay Devgn breaks container on Rohit Shetty's head

Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn has pulled off many stunts in his career, but this was unique. He went ahead and broke a glass bottle on his director friend Rohit Shetty's head on the sets of Zee TV's Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Singing Superstar. The duo, along with Kareena Kapoor, Kunal Khemu, Shreyas Talpade and Tusshar Kapoor, made a special appearance on the show for the music release of their upcoming film Golmaal 3. Ajay did the stunt in good fun, after music director duo Sajid-Wajid coaxed the usually reticent actor to sing a song for the audience. The actor gave in to their request and sang Mere naina sawan bhadon.

After fulfilling their demand, Ajay asked the composers to do a stunt that he chose to demonstrate - he broke a bottle on Shetty's head and the latter started bleeding. When Ajay asked Sajid-Wajid to be ready for the same, they chickened out, said a source from the sets. But guess who was sporting enough? It was the show's new host, actor Manish Paul, who ended up getting the bottle cracked on his derriere. The episode will be telecast on Sunday.
