Madhavan talked about how Ajay Devgn took a more laid-back role in Shaitaan and let his co-actors display their talent. Madhavan stated, “I have never worked with a co-star like Ajay sir in my life. Because the level of generosity, his supreme confidence in himself and the product and his absolute generous nature is something I have learned so much from in the last four months. He is the producer of the film. He could have taken the meatier, the more author-backed role. He could have made sure that his heroism was the one that shone through the film.”

The Tanu Weds Manu actor also recalled the time when the team came up with the film’s name. He was surprised when his role as the negative lead was highlighted throughout the promotions. “He is a producer; he sat on the edit; we didn’t have the name of the film while we were filming it. We were wondering which is the best title. And they come up with the title Shaitaan and make me the shaitaan. I thought I was playing the negative lead in the film, and I was prepared for enjoying myself while doing that. I didn’t know it was such an author-backed role and an author-backed publicity as well. The teaser and the trailer is all about the shaitaan,” Madhavan shared.

In closing, R. Madhavan claimed that only artists who are confident and passionate about their skills can take a back seat while letting their co-stars shine. He said, “You have to be supremely in love with your job and extremely confident in your skin to be able to do that for another actor. I am eternally grateful. I mean, I have never meant thank you as much as I say thank you to Ajay sir for this. My wife says, ‘tera baap tere liye yeh nahi karega’ (even your father wouldn’t do this much for you). Although dad would have, but it’s just a figure of speech.”
