Did you know Ajay Devgn cut short his family holiday for ‘Shaitaan’? |

Ajay Devgn, known for his diverse film choices, is set to make a spine-chilling entry into the horror genre with his latest venture, ‘Shaitaan.’ Just like all his other movies, Ajay has also shown his heartfelt dedication to this film. Proof of his commitment is the fact that Ajay cut short his family holiday to dive into the filming process.
The genesis of ‘Shaitaan’ began last April when producer Kumar Mangat and Abhishek Pathak presented the script, an adaptation of the Gujarati hit ‘Vash (2023),’ to Ajay Devgn.Intrigued by the narrative revolving around protecting the family from a sorcerer’s spell, played by R Madhavan, Ajay swiftly signed on and convinced director Vikas Bahl to helm the project.

The challenge arose when scheduling conflicts clashed with Ajay’s pre-planned London holiday in July, a yearly tradition with his family. Understanding the importance of shooting timelines, Ajay made the tough call to sacrifice his vacation, opting for a dedicated start-to-finish shooting schedule for ‘Shaitaan’ from July to August in and around London.
While Yug, Ajay’s son, accompanied him throughout the UK shoot, the rest of the family joined in the last week of August.

‘Shaitaan,’ slated to release on March 8, marks Ajay Devgn’s first of five films in 2024. Directed by Vikas Bahl and written by Aamil Keeyan KhanKrishnadev Yagnik the movie stars Ajay Devgn, R Madhavan, and Janki Bodiwala.
