R Madhavan heaps praises on his 'Shaitaan' co-star Ajay Devgn

R. Madhavan showered praise on his Shaitaan co-star Ajay Devgn and applauded his "generosity."

During a recent interview with Curly Tales, the 53-year-old actor shared insights into his collaboration with Ajay Devgn on Shaitaan and commended the gesture in Singham Again of relinquishing the "meatier" role in the supernatural thriller.

The Tanu Weds Manu star also reminisced about his wife's remark, mentioning that not even his father would have gone to such lengths for him.

He shared, “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,” Madhavan added.

Maddy further shared how he was initially "prepared to enjoy" playing the "negative lead" in the film as he didn’t know that "it was such an author-backed role and an author-backed publicity as well."

He said that Devgn sat on the edit as the title wasn’t decided during the shoot, expressing his surprise, "And they come up with the title Shaitaan and make me the shaitaan," further mentioning the teaser and the trailer was all about his role.

R. Madhavan and Ajay Devgn's film Shaitaan hit theaters on March 8, 2024.
