Kajol is ready to scare and impress audiences with her upcoming horror thriller Maa, which hits theatres on June 27, 2025. Directed by Vishal Furia, the film has already created a buzz, especially since it’s connected to the Shaitaan universe. Maa blends horror with Indian mythology and promises a gripping and emotional ride.
In Maa, Kajol plays a strong and determined mother who goes up against terrifying supernatural forces to save her daughter from a deadly curse. The story is set in a haunted village and brings in the powerful energy of Goddess Kali, making it both spooky and spiritual. The movie focuses on a mother’s unbreakable love and courage, even in the face of dark and dangerous forces.
The film’s music, created by Harsh Upadhyay, Rocky Khanna, and Shiv Malhotra, is expected to add to the film’s chilling mood. With emotional moments and haunting scenes, the music will play an important role in building the atmosphere of fear and devotion.
Along with Kajol, the film features a talented cast, including Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta, Gopal Singh, and Jitin Gulati. The movie will be released in four languages: Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali, making it accessible to audiences across India.
There were recent rumours that actors Ajay Devgn or R Madhavan might make surprise appearances in the film. However, Kajol cleared up these rumours in a recent interview with Pinkvilla. Laughing, she said, “No, no. I wish you had suggested this earlier. Maybe we could have actually shot something if we knew before.” She explained that since the movie is so close to release, there’s no chance of adding anything new now. But she hinted that if audiences love Maa, there might be a sequel in the future — Maa 2.
Maa will be facing some competition at the box office as it releases on the same day as Sonakshi Sinha’s mystery thriller Nikita Roy, which also stars Paresh Rawal and Arjun Rampal. Still, fans are excited to see Kajol return to the big screen in a powerful role that’s very different from what she’s done before.
Apart from Maa, Kajol has several interesting projects lined up. She will be seen in Maharagni: Queen of Queens, alongside Prabhudeva and Naseeruddin Shah. She’s also working on a film called Sarzameen, which stars Ibrahim Ali Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran.
With Maa, Kajol steps into the horror genre in a bold and emotional way. The film combines mythology, suspense, and the strength of motherhood to offer something fresh and powerful. Whether you’re a horror movie fan or someone who enjoys stories of love and courage, Maa looks like a must-watch this summer.
