Kajol will be seen in a terrifying avatar for the first time in the film ‘Maa’. This horror drama, releasing on June 27th, is produced by Ajay Devgn and presents a unique blend of motherhood, fear, and thrill.
Bollywood's powerful actress Kajol is once again gracing the silver screen with her acting prowess, but this time with a different and shocking approach. Her new film, 'Maa', is all set to send shivers down the spines of audiences with its terrifying story. The film is slated to release in theaters on June 27th, 2025, and notably, it will showcase a side of Kajol that her fans may have rarely seen before.
'Maa' Reminiscent of 'Shaitan', but with a New Twist
The subject and treatment of this film seem quite similar to Ajay Devgn's superhit film 'Shaitan'. Just as in 'Shaitan', a father fights death to save his daughter, in 'Maa', Kajol, playing a mother, will be seen doing something similar. However, this time, the story has been infused with even more fear, emotion, and mystery.
R. Madhavan's menacing villainous portrayal in Ajay Devgn's 'Shaitan' is still remembered by people. Now, audiences are curious to see if 'Maa' will also feature such a powerful villain, and whether Ajay Devgn himself is planning a surprise cameo?
Kajol's Comments on Cameos
During a recent interview, when Kajol was asked if Ajay Devgn or R. Madhavan would be making a cameo appearance in this film, Kajol smiled and said, "No, no, I wish you had given this idea earlier. If you had told us earlier, we might have even shot it." Her response clearly indicates that neither of these stars has a cameo in the film, but Kajol also hinted that such a surprise would have been possible if the opportunity had arisen.
Ajay Devgn as Producer, but Not on Screen
Although Ajay Devgn is producing the film, he has played his role behind the scenes in strengthening the film. 'Maa' is jointly produced by Devgn Films and Jio Studios. It's also noteworthy that Ajay and Kajol have collaborated on a project after a long time, even though they won't be seen together on screen.
Special Attention to Direction and Music
The film 'Maa' is directed by Vishal Furia, known for his previous thriller and horror projects. The film's story is written by Saiwyn Quadras, which will force viewers to grapple with emotions and fear. The film's music is composed by Harsh Upadhyay, Rocky Khanna, and Shiv Malhotra, which will further enhance its terrifying atmosphere.
Strong Cast: Kajol Alongside Other Talented Actors
Along with Kajol, several other talented actors will be seen in this film. These include names like Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta, Jitendra Gulaati, Gopal Singh, Suryashikha Das, Yani Bharadwaj, Rupkatha Chakravarty, and Kherin Sharma. Each character has been carefully crafted to make the story even more impactful.
Multilingual Release to Expand the Film's Reach
'Maa' will be released not only in Hindi but also in Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali. This clearly shows the attempt to give the film a pan-India appeal. Considering Kajol's popularity and the film's story, it wouldn't be wrong to say that 'Maa' has the potential to unite audiences across the country.
What is the Story of 'Maa'?
The full story of the film has not yet been revealed, but it is being said that it involves a mother who goes to any lengths to protect her child. In this struggle, she has to fight against spirits, evil forces, and dark mysteries. The film not only features horror elements but also showcases the depth of the mother-child relationship, making it not just a horror film but also an emotional thriller.
