Ajay Devgn meets Anna

Despite the felicitation event in Pune being cancelled due to security reasons, the actor made sure that he met the social activist before the latter left for New Delhi

Ajay Devgn was taken aback when the felicitation ceremony in Pune was cancelled due to security reasons. However, the actor, who was supposed to be felicitated by Anna Hazare at the event, made sure that he at least met the activist before he leaves for Delhi. Devgn caught up with Anna at the airport on the latter's way back.

A source informed Mumbai Mirror, "The Pune police wanted to felicitate Ajay Devgn for his role of a honest Marathi cop in Singham. Anna Hazare was flying down to Pune especially for the event. But while the organisers expected around three thousand people, over ten thousand turned up. In no time, the event became extremely chaotic. Entering the venue became impossible."

"Ajay, who was travelling with Rohit Shetty and his business manager Kumar Mangat left without entering the venue. So did Anna Hazare. But Ajay wanted to meet Anna. When he learnt that Anna was heading towards the airport, Ajay rushed there and met up with the activist," added the source.

When contacted, Kumar Mangat, confirmed the news and added, "We were very excited about meeting Anna. However, since we could not reach the venue, we decide to meet him at the airport. It was a very nice evening. Ajay was extremely happy to have finally met him."
