Ajay Devgn, known for his diverse film choices, is set to make a spine-chilling entry into the horror genre with his latest venture, ‘Shaitaan.’ Just like all his other movies, Ajay has also shown his heartfelt dedication to this film. Proof of his commitment is the fact that Ajay cut short his family holiday to dive into the filming process.
