The actor will join hands with Fox Star Studios to rope in the filmmaker before he starts work on SRK's 2 States
Taking his rivalry with the King Khan a step forward, Ajay Devgn has now convinced Vishal Bhardwaj to put the Shah Rukh Khan starrer 2 States on hold and start work on Devgn's Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola.

The film titled Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola is a comedy starring Anushka Sharma opposite Ajay Devgn. Ajay wanted the film to go on floors immediately after he wraps up Rohit Shetty's Bol Bachchan. his next film Son Of Sardar will now go on floors next year."
With his Shah Rukh starrer 2 States stuck in the initial phases for a while now, Vishal Bhardwaj sounded happy to be able to move on with a project. "I have had the idea for this comedy for almost eight years now.
It's a totally new genre for me. It will be completely different from what I have done in my earlier films. Also, I have missed working with Ajay. He is a great actor and a greater human being. I can't wait to be on the sets with him."
Talking about his leading lady Anushka, Vishal added, "She is a ball of energy. The harder you throw her, the higher she will go. I am looking forward to shooting with her."
The actor and the director are not the only two people happy to have got this project rolling. Vijay Singh, the CEO of Fox Star Studios said, "Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola is a very special film for us at Fox Star. It brings together some great talent - Vishal Bhardwaj, Ajay Devgn and Kumar Mangat. We believe it will draw a lot of attention in 2012."
