R Madhavan reveals, “I Was Stunned When I Was Asked To Play The Villian In Shaitaan”

7^th March 2024, Dubai, United Arab Emirates: The supernatural thriller Shaitaan, featuring Ajay Devgn, Jyotika and R Madhavan has sparked a lot of curiosity to go on this gripping journey into the world of black magic. R Madhavan has piqued curiosity with his menacing smirks seen throughout the teaser and trailer of the film.

Speaking about the audience’s reaction to his villainous avatar, R Madhavan expressed, “I am very excited about the anticipation around the film and the response that the trailer, and Shaitaan are receiving. I did not expect this level of appreciation. We are keeping our fingers crossed for this film. I was offered this film by Kumar Ji when I was shooting for a Tamil film in summer last year in Chennai, and he just said, ‘I don’t want to hear no, this is the film that you are doing’. I thought I was offered the father’s role. That’s when Kumar Ji said, ‘Before you say anything, we want you to play the Villain’. I was quite stunned, and I was amazed that Ajay sir would want to give that role to me. I see the intelligence behind it now. I hope I’ve done justice to it, but looking at the response so far, we are all very elated, and I hope that we live up to the expectation.”
