The trailer for the much-anticipated Indian thriller, ‘Shaitaan (Devil)’, featuring Ajay Devgn, R. Madhavan, Janki Bodiwala, and Jyothika Saravanan in pivotal roles, has captivated audiences across social media platforms.
Released on February 23, 2024, the trailer introduces viewers to a gripping narrative inspired by the Gujarati film ‘Vash’. It intricately portrays R. Madhavan’s character seeking asylum in the household of Ajay Devgn and Jyothika Saravanan, subsequently unleashing chaos upon the family. Utilizing hypnotism, Madhavan’s character manipulates Janki Bodiwala’s role, turning her into an instrument of terror against her own family.
The film’s description on IMDb encapsulates it as “A timeless tale of a battle between good and evil, with a family representing the essence of righteousness and a man embodying the depths of malevolence.”
Audience reactions to the trailer underscore their appreciation for its enthralling suspense and the performances delivered by the cast. Directed by Vikas Bahl, ‘Shaitaan’ is a collaborative production effort involving Ajay Devgn, Jyoti Deshpande, Abhishek Pathak, and Kumar Mangat Pathak.
Ajay Devgn’s unveiling of his character’s first look was accompanied by a compelling message, “Jab baat apne parivaar par aaye, tab woh har #Shaitaan se lad jaayega (When it comes to family, a person will fight any devil to save it).”
The film is slated for release on March 8, 2024, and is anticipated to be a significant addition to the thriller genre in Indian cinema.
