Ajay Devgn's 'Shaitaan' Starring Madhavan and Jyothika Takes Box Office by Storm
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,March 12 2024]
Bollywood's latest release, Shaitaan, has made a significant impact with its strong debut, as reported by Variety.
It is also the first-ever collaboration between Mukesh Ambani's Jio Studios, Ajay Devgn's Devgn Films, and Panorama Studios. Shaitaan has now seen a mighty global weekend collection for itself at $9.8 million, including figures from India that qualify for the producers. The filmâs weekend overseas tally now stands at $1.8 million, which is shaping up to be the second highest opening for Devgn overseas, after Panoramaâs Drishyam 2 went to $2.3 million in 2022.
Vikas Bahl will direct the upcoming horror-thriller Shaitaan, featuring Ajay Devgn, R. Madhavan, Jyotika, and Janki Bodiwala. Effectively penned by Aamil Keeyan Khan and Krishnadev Yagnik, the picture traces Kabir (Devgn) and his family as they are hijacked by a stranger into a nightmarish mystery.
Along with domestic success, Panorama Studios is also bringing international raves. The Indian superhit thriller Drishyam is getting a makeover in English. A notable collaboration on the part of Panorama Studios is with some U.S. production companies: Gulfstream Pictures and JOAT Films.
The movie was first done in Malayalam in 2013, with a Hindi remake in 2015 starring Ajay Devgn and Tabu. The second part, Drishyam 2, saw its release in 2022 and went on to cross over $43 million at the foreign box office.
Tearaway Filmâs firm Panorama Management has acquired international remake rights to all films and is handling international adaptations for the films, like the filmâs Korean version currently in works with Anthology Studios and the Spanish language remake now in the closing stages of prep.
