Jyothika has been a part of some horror flicks, the best of them being Chandramukhi, where she played the Tamil version of Manjulika. Her Ra Ra Ra song, parallel to Mere Dholna. Meanwhile, R Madhavan has been a part of a supernatural flick called 13B.
Ajay Devgn was a part of the OG horror flicks in Bollywood like Kaal & Bhoot. However, the genre has not been functional for long, though it has been presented with a tweak in horror comedies Stree, Bhediya & others.
So, a lot of hope is riding on Shaitaan since the trailer has been received well, and the advance booking numbers are showing a positive sign. Hope the film manages to open well at the box office.
