About Shaitaan
Presented by Jio Studios, Devgn Films and Panorama Studios, Shaitaan is produced by Devgn, Jyoti Deshpande, Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak. It is the Hindi remake of the 2023 Gujarati horror film Vash, written and directed by Krishnadev Yagnik.
“It’s not that we (superstars) don’t want to do horror films. If we get something interesting, then why not? I like this genre and I was waiting to explore it again. When I did Bhoot (2003), we got a lot of appreciation. After that, I didn’t get any script that was good in this genre,” Ajay had said at the trailer launch event of Shaitaan.
Ajay will be next seen in Amit R Sharma’s period football film Maidaan, which stars him as the iconic coach, Syed Abdul Raheem, who led India’s football team to Olympic glory. The film will release in cinemas on the occasion of Eid next week on April 10.
