Sporting confidence

Sayyesha Saigal, who is all set to make her Bollywood debut with Ajay Devgn’s directorial venture ‘Shivaay’, has already generated a lot of curiosity among moviegoers. It is for the first time that Bollywood’s ‘Singham’ is launching a newcomer as a producer and director, and he is mighty impressed with her.

The 18-year-old newcomer will be seen essaying the role of Anushka in the movie. Sayyesha feels fortunate to make her debut in a film which has been helmed by a superstar like Ajay Devgn, adding that she will always look up to him as her mentor.

The extremely confident actor is also of the opinion that she is not competing with any of the younger lots in the industry as there is enough work for everyone.

Speaking about Sayyesha’s performance, Ajay said, “Talent speaks for itself. When I saw Sayyeshaa’s screen test, I saw great potential in her. It’s rare to find a beautiful face who is a great performer. ‘Shivaay’ is a performance-oriented film. I needed a strong performer.”
As an actor, Sayyesha has made a great impression on Ajay. The movie is set
to release this Diwali on October 28.
