Sources say Ajay Devgn keen to bring story of Sher Singh Rana to big screen. After giving his nod to Taanaji: The Unsung Warrior – a biopic on Tanaji Malusare who served as one of Shivaji’s generals in the 17th century – Ajay Devgn has apparently evinced his interest in another real-life story. It has been heard that the actor is keen on playing Sher Singh Rana, who was convicted for the assassination of Indian dacoit-turned-parliamentarian Phoolan Devi in 2001. A source reveals, “What caught Ajay’s attention is the interesting life of Rana, who escaped from Tihar jail in 2004, and claimed to have gone to Afghanistan to bring back the remains of the 12th century Indian ruler, Prithviraj Chauhan, before he was caught in Kolkata in 2006.
