Jyotika and Ajay Devgn in Shaitaan teaser
Get ready for an adrenaline-pumping experience as the powerhouse trio of Ajay Devgn, R Madhavan and Jyotika join forces in the much-awaited supernatural thriller. Directed by Vikas Bahl, this film promises to be a genre-defining, edge-of-the-seat experience that will keep the audiences glued to the screen. The 'Shaitaan' teaser was unveiled today by the makers of the film.
While the teaser takes you into the world of 'Shaitaan', R Madhavan's sinister smile at the end will surely give you the chills. The video gives a rather elaborate introduction of the villain played by R Madhavan without revealing his face. The film will take you through a gripping journey that deals with the sinister elements of Indian Black Magic.
The supernatural thriller was announced in September last year. The 'Shaitaan' movie will hit the theatres on March 8, 2024. The film will also mark the Hindi movie debut of actor Janki Bodiwala, who has worked on Gujarati titles like 'Chhello Divas', 'Tamburo', 'Chhutti Jashe Chhakka' and 'Bau Na Vichar'.

On the other hand, Madhavan had recently, "This year there are four films in the pipeline, one with Ajay Devgan, and one with Akshay Kumar. One called 'Hissab Barabar' with Jio, and one with the 'Vikram Vedha' producers Sashi, with Nayantara called 'Test', and a Tamil film called 'Adhirshtasaali'. So there's a lot in store."
