Vash was critically acclaimed with most calling it a worthy watch. Some went on to say that the movie would set a benchmark in the Gujarati film industry and sure enough, it seems to have done exactly that, with Shaitaan making all the right noises.
The trailer of Shaitaan, released on February 22 showed R. Madhavan in a new avatar. He turned into a demon who does black magic. He has Janki’s character (once again the daughter, this time Ajay and Jyotika’s daughter) under his control. Ajay and Jyotika play the parents who go to all lengths to try and save their daughter, but with the situation, can they?
Apart from Ajay, Madhavan, Jyotika and Janki, the movie stars Anngad Raaj in the role of the son (missing from the trailer). The remake is directed by Vikas Bahl and produced by Ajay and Jyoti Deshpande, Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak.
Shaitaan is slated to release in theatres on March 8, 2024.
