He specifically mentioned the urination scene and shared how he managed to perform that challenging moment as an actor.Kajol Questions Madhavan on the Realism of the SceneIn a conversation shared by JioStudios on YouTube, Kajol asked Madhavan if any scene in the film felt too realistic or made him uncomfortable.
Madhavan replied, “More than that, it was very sensitive. Ek scene hain jaha pe meri beti ko main raat bhar nachata hoon, and she can't hold her bladder anymore, and she pees. Toh, original me alag tarika tha, but isme kya hua tha ki as a villain also if I see that na, so the whole messaging changes.
I was trying to figure out ki isko kaisa kare ki ekdum disgust mein badal de (There was a scene where I make my daughter dance for the whole night and she pees.
Now, as a villain, if I see that it comes off with a different message. I wanted it to turn into disgust!).”How Madhavan Managed His DiscomfortHe further added, “Then I covered myself with a blanket so I didn't have to see it, and I felt really relieved as an actor also that I don't have to react to that also. I am just telling the mother, can you go help your daughter? Aise bohot saare scenes aaye jaha I was feeling uncomfortable so uska maine tod nikal diya (There were many scenes like these which made me feel uncomfortable and I had to come out of it somehow).”About 'Shaitaan''Shaitaan', the Hindi adaptation of the 2023 Gujarati movie Vash, centers on a family trapped in their own house by an enigmatic intruder who manipulates a young woman.
