A while ago, reports of Ajay Devgn being approached for Om Raut's Adipurush surfaced. Featuring Prabhas and Saif Ali Khan as Ram and Raavan respectively, it was being speculated that Ajay is considered to play Shiv in the magnum opus 3D film. However, now, there is an update on the same. Ajay's team has issued a statement clearing the air. 

In the statement, Ajay's team dismissed the rumour and stated that the superstar hasn't been approached for Adipurush for the role of Shiv.
