Ajay Devgn’s delayed psychological thriller slated for release this summer

Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn is set to star in ‘Naam’, a psychological thriller directed by Anees Bazmee. Scheduled to release this summer, the film revolves around a person’s journey to remember his identity after losing it due to memory loss.

According to reports, the makers of the film are hoping to release it in the months of May, June or July this year, after keeping it under the wraps for 18 years. It is unclear if the film will premiere on an OTT platform or the big screen. 

The film will include cinematic shots, thanks to its exquisite filming locations like Switzerland. 

‘Naam’ is Devgn and Bazmee’s fourth collaboration. The duo has previously worked together in ‘Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha’ (1998), ‘Deewangee’ (2002) and ‘Hulchul’ (2004).

“Naam is truly special for me because it also marks the fourth collaboration of the superhit jodi of Ajay and Anees post ‘Deewangee’, ‘Pyaar toh hona hi tha’ and ‘Hulchul’. Ajay is fantastic to work with, he puts a lot into playing any character yet always looks effortless on screen!” Roongta said, according to IANS.
