Jyotika on the reason she chose to play a mother in Shaitaan
During an interaction with ANI, Jyotika opened up about playing a mother in Shaitaan and why she decided to play the role. "There are a lot of sequences in the film that ignite motherhood, and I don't know if I want to really reveal them, but one of them was a very important reason why I said yes to this film also. I think throughout, it was a constant that the film reminded you of how responsible one has to be with a teenage daughter and what role a mother and father play in the protective journey of their kids.
She further explained how the film evokes a sense of responsibility to always protect your child. "I think, as a mother, from the beginning to the end, this film has that emotion and responsibility throughout." She further added, "That feeling of just protecting your child continuously. I think every parent watching the film will be under that light."
