Anticipation was high and the stars descended upon the red carpet as the supernatural horror film ‘Shaitaan’ held its premiere ahead of its theatrical release. Notable among those attending was actor Ajay Devgn, who came in with his 13-year-old son Yug, offering a glimpse into their close father-son relationship while providing young Yug with a lesson in facing the camera-ready paparazzi.
At the special screening of ‘Shaitaan,’ the forthcoming film found its cast and special guests in attendance to lend their support. Ajay Devgn, who takes on a pivotal role in the movie, appeared to be dually invested; not only was he there as a part of the film but also as a father, gently guiding his son on how to navigate the frenzy of flashing cameras and excited members of the media.
Yug, the young scion of acting royalty, with his mother Kajol being another celebrated actor, was seen clinging to his father’s hand, understandably shy amidst the overwhelming attention. Despite this, Ajay was observed patiently instructing his son on how to respond to the paparazzi, creating a heartwarming father-son moment on the red carpet that didn’t go unnoticed by onlookers and fans who caught a glimpse of the moment through videos shared on social media platforms.
Matching the star power of the Devgns was the accomplished actress Jyotika, who also graced the screening alongside her husband, acclaimed actor Suriya. The couple, who opted for an elegant black ensemble, definitively turned heads, presenting a united front for this significant premiere evening.
Speaking on her role, Jyotika drew parallels between her on-screen character and real-life experiences, commenting on the emotional and protective journey of parents, particularly with a teenage daughter. She admitted to certain scenes within the movie that greatly resonated with her and reinforced the immense responsibility that falls on the shoulders of a mother and father – a sentiment she believes will strike a chord with every parent who watches ‘Shaitaan.’
The storyline of ‘Shaitaan’ centers around Kabir, portrayed by Ajay Devgn, and his family’s descent into terror when a supposedly innocuous weekend retreat is upended by the arrival of a cryptic stranger. The narrative weaves through tension-laden sequences that tap into the primal fears of family members, juxtaposing those against the backdrop of Indian Black Magic.
Heightening the fervor for this feature film are the combined talents of Ajay Devgn, Jyotika, and R Madhavan. Their individual prowess, when unified for this project, has created a palpable buzz since the release of the teaser, promising audiences a cinematic experience brimming with suspense and thrill.
Jio Studios, Devgn Films, and Panorama Studios present ‘Shaitaan,’ a film produced by a team including Ajay Devgn, Jyoti Deshpande, Kumar Mangat Pathak, and Abhishek Pathak, with Vikas Bahl at the directing helm. As the enthusiasm builds, the film is poised for its big screen outing on March 8, 2024.
As the premiere wrapped up, the collective excitement for the film’s release was evident. Actors, producers, and fans alike are all eagerly awaiting to see how this tale of sinister spells and familial bonds plays out on the silver screen. With ‘Shaitaan,’ the filmmakers hope to provide not just a gripping horror thriller, but also a reflective snapshot of the enduring spirit of family and protection.
