Ajay Devgn celebrated his nephew Danish Devgn’s birthday with a nostalgic social media post that looked back at their relationship across the years.
The actor shared two photographs featuring himself and Danish at different stages of their lives. One showed the two together more recently, while the other captured Danish as a child alongside a much younger Ajay.
Alongside the pictures, Ajay wrote a warm birthday message reflecting on how their relationship has changed over time.
“From being my little shadow to becoming someone I’m happy to walk alongside. Happy birthday, Dan ❤️”
The post offered fans a rare glimpse into the actor’s personal side while highlighting the long-standing bond between the uncle and nephew.
From Childhood Memories to Working Together
Ajay and Danish’s relationship extends beyond their family connection. In recent years, the two have also entered the business of content creation and technology together.
In September 2025, they launched Lens Vault Studios, a content venture focused on combining storytelling with technologies including visual effects, animation and artificial intelligence.
Ajay serves as the company’s chairman, while Danish is its founder and chief executive officer.
The venture is developing original intellectual property across several areas, including films, OTT content, branded entertainment, gaming and immersive formats such as augmented reality and virtual reality.
For Danish, the studio represents a leadership opportunity within the entertainment and technology space, while Ajay brings his experience across acting, filmmaking and production.

The company’s areas of interest include:
- Films and feature content
- OTT originals
- Branded content
- Gaming
- Animation and VFX
- AR and VR experiences
- AI-assisted storytelling and production technologies
The venture adds another professional dimension to the relationship between Ajay and Danish, with the younger member of the family taking on an executive role.
Ajay Devgn Returns as Vijay Salgaonkar in Drishyam The Conclusion
Meanwhile, Ajay Devgn is preparing for the next chapter of one of his most recognisable film franchises.
The actor will reprise his role as Vijay Salgaonkar in Drishyam The Conclusion, the third instalment of the Hindi Drishyam series. The film is scheduled for a theatrical release on October 2, 2026.
The recently released trailer brings Vijay and his family back into the centre of the story, with Tabu returning as Meera Deshmukh. Jaideep Ahlawat is also part of the cast.
The upcoming film has generated interest because it continues the story of Vijay Salgaonkar, whose efforts to protect his family have formed the central conflict of the franchise.
Ajay Devgn Wants Mohanlal and Jeethu Joseph to Watch the Film
Ajay has also spoken about the connection between the Hindi franchise and the original Malayalam Drishyam films.
Malayalam superstar Mohanlal starred as Georgekutty in the original films, while filmmaker Jeethu Joseph directed them. Ajay has expressed a desire for the two to watch the Hindi third instalment and share their feedback.
According to Ajay, the Hindi version follows a different storyline, rather than simply reproducing the plot of the Malayalam films. He has also said that the team spent around two and a half years developing the script.
As Ajay celebrates Danish’s birthday, the throwback photographs provide a personal look at a relationship that has evolved from an uncle watching over his young nephew to a professional association involving filmmaking, technology and new forms of storytelling.
