Jyothika on ShaitaanJyotika??
Actress?Jyothika who is also a part of the movie?essayed the role of a mother to Janki Bodiwala in Shaitaan.?Talking about playing a mother on screen and being one in real life, Jyothika said, "There are a lot of sequences in the film that ignite motherhood, and I don¡¯t know if I want to really reveal them, but one of them was a very important reason why I said yes to this film also. I think throughout, it was a constant that the film reminded you of how responsible one has to be with a teenage daughter and what role a mother and father play in the protective journey of their kids."

R Madhavan on Shaitaan
Talking about the film, R Madhavan earlier said, "I thought I was offered the father's role. That's when Kumar Ji said, 'Before you say anything, we want you to play the Villain'. I was quite stunned, and I was amazed that Ajay sir would want to give that role to me.?I see the intelligence behind it now. I hope I've done justice to it, but looking at the response so far, we are all very elated, and I hope that we live up to the expectation."
He added that people's perception of him has changed nowadays. "They are looking at me very strangely nowadays. In fact, a lot of my fans have said, 'We know that after watching Shaitaan, we¡¯ll have to watch Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein and my other romantic films a couple of times to get rid of the acidity, I believe... but I am very nervous at the same time because this is something I've never done before. "This level of evilness is something I did not expect to portray, and I am hoping that it sticks."
