He began his journey assisting action directors in 1989 and became a full-fledged action director in 2007 with Shootout At Lokhandwala. It was directed by Apoorva Lakhia, who\u2019s now gearing up for his next, Maatrubhumi, starring Salman Khan.

EXCLUSIVE: Aejaz Gulab reveals why Maatrubhumi had an additional shoot: \u201cMakers wanted to film introduction scenes of some characters\u201d; adds, \u201cIt was Apoorva Lakhia\u2019s DREAM to work with Salman Khan; he was trying for it for a long time\u201d<\/p>\n
Aejaz Gulab said, \u201cApoorva and I assisted in Lagaan (2001). I worked on his films like Ek Ajnabee (2005), Shootout At Lokhandwala (2007) and Haseena Parkar (2017). The kind of rapport I have with Mohit Suri, I also have with Apoorva. I was very happy when he told me that \u2018Salman ke saath apne ko film karni hai\u2019. It was his dream to work with Salman Khan. He had been trying to make it happen for a long time, but it wasn\u2019t falling into place. With Maatrubhumi, however, things finally worked out. Bahut dil laga ke kaam kiya hai humne iss film pe.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aejaz Gulab worked with Salman multiple times in the beginning of his career, \u201cI have done several of his films like Veergati (1995), Judwaa (1997), Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega (2000), God Tussi Great Ho (2008), etc. I have been Salman\u2019s body double several times.\u201d<\/p>\n
He confessed that he worked with Salman after a long time, \u201cHe was specializing in the South Indian action zone. I can also attempt that, but if you have seen my work, you\u2019ll realize that I indulge in real action. I also began the trend of one-shot takes. That was in Ek Villain (2014), featuring Sidharth Malhotra in a boat. Raj-DK asked me if we could have a long action scene without cuts in Season 1 of The Family Man. We tried and it was a success. Since then, whenever someone wanted to do a single-shot action scene, I would get a call (laughs)! I also attempted it in a Bengali film and it was quite loved.\u201d<\/p>\n
There are reports that Maatrubhumi\u2019s additional shoot is taking place. Aejaz confessed, \u201cThe makers wanted to add some songs. Hence, they shot those songs. Also, they filmed introduction scenes of some characters.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another exciting upcoming film for Aejaz Gulab is Awarapan 2. He said, \u201cThe action would be in the realistic zone, just like the first part. Emraan is a very fine performer. He does action and everything else with panache.\u201d<\/p>\n
