R Madhavan reveals how his role in 'Shaitaan' impacted his relationship with his wife

R Madhavan will next be seen as the antagonist in the movie 'Shaitaan'. His portrayal of the character has left audiences impressed. However, he feels the film will cause trouble in his personal life

R Madhavan has grabbed attention with his villainous act in the upcoming movie'Shaitaan' which also stars Ajay Devgn and Joyotika. From the trailer, we get to know that he plays the role of a man who enters the life of a happy family as a kind stranger until he reveals his true self. He hypnotises their teenage daughter, and then unleashes havoc in their lives.

Talking about his role at the trailer launch of the film, R Madhavan said, "I can not tell you what an amazing experience it has been, especially with a team like this. I never imagined I could push myself to this level that people would get scared. I remember when I showed this trailer and teaser to my wife, she started to see me in a different light. Even today she tells me to talk to her from a distance. So I might face some trouble after this film.”

As the team interacted with the media during the event, Ajay, who has also co-produced the film was asked why he did not essay the role of the antagonist instead of Madhavan referring to his role in ‘Kaal’ (2005), to which he said, “When we started shooting, the first thing Maddy said was ‘Why aren’t you doing this role? Why have you given it to me?’ I told him I felt for the father's character, so I would not be able to do justice to the other character, it’s a much stronger character though. But the character I connect with, I wanted to play that.”

The film takes the audience on a journey with Kabir (Devgn) and his family as their fun weekend retreat takes a nightmarish turn when they let a friendly but mysterious stranger into their house. As the clock ticks, the family will be forced to confront their worst fears in this gripping tale that deals with the sinister elements of Indian Black Magic.

The highly anticipated supernatural thriller starring Ajay Devgn, Jyotika and R Madhavan has captured the intrigue of moviegoers since its teaser release. The film brings together powerhouse talents and promises a thrilling experience like never before.

‘Shaitaan’ will be released in the theatres on March 8.
