In the realm of cinematic endeavors, Bollywood luminary Ajay Devgn is poised to grace the silver screen in a sextet of forthcoming productions, commencing with “Shaitaan,” slated for release on the morrow, March 8. This cinematic offering, a Hindi rendition of the Gujarati cinematic creation “Vash,” boasts the presence of R Madhavan, Jyotika, and Janki Bodiwala alongside the charismatic Ajay. Noteworthy is Janki Bodiwala reprising her role from the original Gujarati opus.

The pre-release ticket vendition for “Shaitaan” has manifested a propitious outcome, surpassing prognostications with a remarkable 55 percent escalation in contrast to the antecedent day, surmounting the significant milestone of Rs 2 crore. This robust inauguration portends a triumphant commencement for the cinematic endeavor on the imminent Friday.

As delineated by industry tracker Sacnilk, in the elapsed 24-hour span, the quantum of cinematic presentations for the opus has undergone augmentation, witnessing the addition of over 3500 nascent shows, culminating in a sum of 9325. Currently, “Shaitaan” has dispensed nearly 89,039 tickets, amassing a pecuniary sum of Rs 2.07 crore, with conspicuous bookings concentrated in the states of Maharashtra and Delhi.

“Shaitaan” traverses the eerie terrain, nestling itself within the horror genre, lauded by aficionados of its antecedent as an exemplar of spine-chilling cinema. Its triumph holds the potential to bestow newfound acclaim upon the often-neglected horror genre within the realm of Hindi cinema. Recently bestowed with a U/A certification, the cinematic offering is poised for screening.

In tandem with “Shaitaan,” Ajay Devgn’s cinematic trajectory in the imminent year encompasses an eclectic array, including “Maidaan,” “Auron Mein Kaha Dum Tha,” “Raid 2,” “Singham Again,” and a yet-unnamed venture helmed by Abhishek Kapoor. The latter marks the cinematic initiation of Ajay’s nephew, Aaman Devgan, and the scion of Raveena Tandon, Rasha.
