The makers of Ajay Devgn, Jyotika and R Madhavan’s supernatural thriller, ‘Shaitaan’, have finally released the first teaser of the film on Thursday. Helmed by Vikas Bahl, iy will hit the theatres on March 8.
The teaser begins with a narration in a voice which says, “They say the world is deaf, yet they listen to every word of mine. I am in darkness. I am the bowl of temptation.” The voice then describes itself as “owner of nine hells”, “night”, “twilight” and “curse”, as the background score intensifies, which hints at the spooky elements but reveals nothing of the film’s plot.

Towards the end, the voice launches a game, and we get a glimpse of Devgn and Jyotika. Both of them look scared as we also get to see a black voodoo doll. Soon, we hear R Madhavan’s evil laughter and it will certainly leave you scared.
The teaser is shared with the caption, “Woh poochega tumse… ek khel hai, kheloge? Par uske behkaave mein mat aana! (He will ask you to play a game, but don’t get tempted).”
It was only a week ago that Devgn had announced ‘Shaitaan’, presented by Jio Studios, Devgn Films and Panorama Studios. It is being produced by Ajay Devgn, Jyoti Deshpande, Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak. ‘Shaitaan’ also marks the return of Jyothika to Hindi cinema after almost 25 years. For those caught unaware, she started her acting career with the 1997 Hindi film, ‘Doli Saja Ke Rakhna’, and starred in the 2001 film ‘Little John’.

Before releasing the teaser, Devgn had also shared the first look poster of ‘Shaitaan’, featuring himself, Jyotika and Madhavan. While Devgn and Jyothika seemed scared in the teaser, Madhavan had a devil’s smile. “#Shaitaan is coming to cast a spell on you,” the actor wrote along with the poster. Madhavan captioned it, “#Shaitaan nazar milata nahi – nazar lagata hai. (The devil doesn’t look at you, he aims at you.)” and Jyotika added, “#Shaitaan ka bura saaya kabhi bata kar nahin aata. (The devil comes unannounced),” it was captioned as.
Besides Shaitaan, Ajay Devgn will next be seen in Rohit Shetty’s ‘Singham Again’ and Amit Sharma’s ‘Maidaan’.
