Vikas Bahl on the success of Shaitaan: “Ajay Devgn generously stepped back to let R Madhavan take center stage”

Vikas is delighted. “I have to be grateful to my team and cast, especially Ajay Devgn, who was a producer on the project and could have easily insisted on playing the powerful lead role. But he generously stepped back to let Madhavan take center stage. It takes an actor of exceptional generosity and confidence to do that. But I must say that Ajay is exceptional as a father who tries to protect his children from his evil. I would like to see Shaitaan as an emotional family drama, rather than a supernatural thriller. Madhavan has brought elements to her character that we never thought of. It’s an incredible performance,” she stated.

Surprisingly, Vikas is not too enamored with the horror genre. “I don’t watch horror, so it’s a whole new world for me. It’s exciting to create with very little visual experience, so I hope it’s unique for that reason. I almost took a self-tutorial to train myself. I saw a lot of work from the masters of supernatural thrillers. Along with the chills, Shaitaan It is an emotional journey without forced scenes to create horror. It is also about black magic, which differentiates it from other horrors because the demon feels more real and around us,” said the filmmaker.

Vikas praises his cast. “Ajay Devgn is beyond genres. He breaks all boundaries as a star and the audience depends on his choice of films as he keeps changing the benchmarks continuously. Maddy was a vital choice as the sweet and adorable image of her would help create this demon in a unique way. And she has done him more than justice. We have all been fans of Jyotika for years and I was just waiting for the right opportunity to lure her back to Hindi cinema. So we found something that she hoped she wouldn’t say no to,” she said.

Queen director admits his latest film ganapath It didn’t turn out as it should. “I launched into Shaitaan overlapped with ganapath,” he said.

Meanwhile, there is the sequel to Queen In the pipe. “We are in the middle of writing, so we hope to have the script ready soon. It seems like we just did Queen, which turned 10 last week. I remember it as the most beautiful trip ever taken. And I’m glad I got the story figured out for the next one before the tenth year ends. Did you know that they were both released the same week in March? I think I should celebrate my birthday in March instead of May,” Vikas said.
