Ajay Devgn played the role of a father to a 10-year-old girl in his 2016 film
Shivaay
. Being a father to a daughter in real life, Ajay knows that for a girl, the toys in her room matter. And so to create an authentic environment in his film, Ajay went out of the way and ordered more than 2,000
handmade toys
for just one scene.
Hollywood child actor Abigail Eames, who made her
Bollywood
debut with Shivaay, played the character of Ajay Devgn's daughter.
The actor had insisted that room should be a reflection of the dreams and aspirations, typical of a young girl, so he asked for an abundance of beautiful
soft toys
and dolls to fill the space.
It's not just about toys but much more than that the philosophy he follows as an actor as well as a director. He takes his
cinematic work
seriously while working on a film, as he is known for the efforts he put just to get into character. His urge to create a film that not only looks great but also speaks to the soul can be seen in the heed he pays to every tiny detail of the film.

It's not only aesthetically pleasing but it speaks of the sensibility of telling a story. He's painting the world of his onscreen daughter as warm and interesting, which would add depth to the film. This understated depiction of the
father-daughter relationship
found takers because it speaks of innocence and the joys of
childhood
.
