Vash actor Hiten Kumar reacts to Hindi remake Shaitaan
Hiten’s Pratap was played by R Madhavan in Shaitaan; he was named Vanraj. The veteran Gujarati actor told us, “Har ek maa-baap ko apna bachcha pasand hota hai. I watched it because I love R Madhavan and respect Ajay Devgn. I am happy about Shaitaan’s success, aur humari bachchi was the best. Vash humare dil ke kareeb hai.”

'A polished remake'
Kumar further said he would love to watch Shaitaan 2 when made. The actor then revealed, “I watched Shaitaan after almost 14 months. Since we were a part of the original, we knew our character graphs. I am a fan of R Madhavan’s work. What an actor! When I got time, I watched the film. When you watch a trailer, you sense the feel of the film. Shaitaan was polished and was far different from the product that we created. I was also excited to see my Aarya and how she navigates through those sequences.”
