Shivaay

Mithoon has composed the film's score and soundtrack. British band The Vamps and composer Jasleen Royal are also a part of the music.

Shivaay is a family film. The action is a backdrop, but basically it is an emotional drama where a man is pushed to destroy everything possible because somebody is trying to destroy him. The character’s name is Shivaay and he is like a God who has all the elements in a normal human being. If you read about all the other Gods, all of them are perfect. Shivaay is innocent, who consumes bhaang and does whatever every person does, makes mistakes, gets fooled and will destroy everything if he gets angry. If all these things are present in today’s human being and if it is used well, how will that be? That is what the movie questions. The movie is a wholesome entertainer but along with that it has the thought of the characteristics of Shivaay. We search for strength outside, but it is inside us. Every person can be Mahadev.

The film has Ajay Devgan as Shivaay, Sayesha Saigal, Erika Kaar as Olga, Abigail Eames as Gaura, Vir Das, Girish Karnad, Saurabh Shukla and Bijou Thaangjam.
