When Ajay Devgan spiked his co-stars' drinks

While shooting his directorial debut U Me Aur Hum , Ajay Devgan did not spare the film's cast of his pranks.
He may exude all the seriousness of the world but beneath the somber demeanor of Ajay Devgan lies a prankster. And while shooting a song sequence for his film 'U Me Aur Hum', Devgan decided to give his co-stars a glimpse of his funny side.
It all began when Divya Dutta told Devgan that she had heard a lot about his pranks. Devgan, in response, feigned ignorance and innocence. But later on, after the day's shooting got over, Devgan sent a last-minute message to the actors that one more shot needed to be taken. Divya Dutta , Sumeet Raghavan ,Isha Sharvani and Karan Khanna reported on the sets again to shoot the last scene in which they had to sit on a table in a bar and gulp down tequila drinks. What the actors didn't know was that their glasses had real tequila instead of water. It was Devgan's idea to make everyone high.Then what, the actors downed their drinks with abandon only to realize they had gulped real tequila. And as the spirit began to show its potency, the actors got tipsy. Divya began to giggle endlessly. Isha went on walking in circles and Karan felt like throwing up. Only Sumeet remained sober to some extent. On top of it, Devgan shot it all on a video cam and replayed the tape to the shooting unit. Everyone had a hearty laugh seeing the tipsy sides of the otherwise sober actors. After that the actors in the movie became vary of Devgan's pranks. Whenever he asked them to do something out of the ordinary, they immediately asked him if it was not another prank.
