Shaitaan Teaser Out: Ajay Devgn and Jyotika Express Fear in a Face-Off with Madhavan's Title Character

Ever since the title of Vikas Bahl's horror film, Shaitaan, featuring Ajay Devgn, Jyotika, and Madhavan, was revealed, an air of mystery has surrounded the project. Recently, the makers unveiled a one-minute-plus teaser, intensifying the anticipation for the spine-chilling nature of the film. The teaser affirmed what many had speculated after the release of the initial look – Madhavan portrays the titular Shaitaan (evil).

The teaser commences with Madhavan's ominous voice-over, detailing how he entices unsuspecting humans. He declares, "They say the world is deaf. And yet, they follow every word of mine. I am the darkness and temptation, from sinister prayers to forbidden spells; I rule the nine circles of hell." Madhavan continues, "I am the poison and cure both. I am a silent witness to everything endured. I am the night, twilight, I am the universe. I create, sustain, destroy, so beware. They say that I spare no one. There’s a game... do you want to play? It has only one rule: no matter what I say, you must not be tempted."

The teaser offers glimpses of voodoo dolls and other elements, suggesting the film's exploration of black magic. Madhavan's sinister smile at the conclusion leaves Ajay and Jyotika visibly frightened to confront him.

Scheduled for release on March 8, Shaitaan has kept its plot closely guarded by the makers. However, the lead cast has been dropping hints in their captions. Ajay, sharing the teaser on Instagram, wrote, "Woh poochega tumse... ek khel hai, kheloge? Par uske behkaave mein mat aana! (He will ask you... it's a game, will you play? But don't be tempted by his allure!)"
