R Madhavan is striking quite a strong impact with his negative avatar in Shaitaan. At the trailer launch of the film, he even spoke about how he chose to play the part. While Madhavan plays an intense negative role in this film, he shared, “I can not tell you what an amazing experience it has been, especially with a team like this. I never imagined I could push myself to this level that people would get scared. I remember when I showed this trailer and teaser to my wife, she started to see me in a different light. Even today she tells me to talk to her from a distance. So I might face some trouble after this film.”

He even called Ajay Devgn a stalwart and shared his experience of working with the actor. Madhavan said, “I have been in the industry long enough to know that if there is a real Singham in the industry, it is him. I have been a huge fan of Ajay sir’s work, especially the way he emotes subtly, and the kind of roles he does. I have not had much time to interact with him before this movie. But I have become a huge fan of his with this one, when he offered me Shaitaan, I asked him why he wasn’t playing my role which is bigger, and I did not know the importance of this character. The teaser or trailer, all revolves around my character. It takes a certain maturity and passion towards the craft for someone to just give all the limelight decorated on a plate to another artist. I was completely mind-blown by this. I hope I can do justice to the kindness Ajay Sir has shown towards me.”

Sharing his take on experiencing black magic or supernatural activities, he said, “I have experienced supernatural activities a lot. I believe the concept of ‘vashikaran’ exists everywhere. Even social media captivates us, some time back the Blue Whale game was controlling teenagers’ minds. We need to be aware of it, and Shaitaan will help you do that.”
