MAA trailer: Kajol’s horror role against hubby Ajay Devgn
Bollywood superstar Kajol and Kherin Sharma released and promoted the trailer of their film ‘Maa’ on 29 May 2025 in Mumbai. Joining the launch were Kajol’s husband and actor-producer Ajay Devgn, producer Kumar Mangat Pathak, director Vishal Furia and project head and creative producer Vishal Danish Devgn. R Madhavan was the surprise attendee at the launch. Kajol made a note that for the first time that a mythological horror was made and with a huge caste and crew. Everyone in the film has names mentioned wirh the mother’s name in the middle. Ajay Devgn said since the title of the film was ‘Maa’ it was decided that middle names will have the mother’s name instead of the traditional Indian way of father’s name in the middle. Talking about casting, Kajol said it started at home and her husband Ajay picked her in a horror role besides himself. Ajay Devgn laughed that off saying how could a husband not pick his wife. Ajay also said so many horror films and horror comedies were being made. But no one has attempted a mytho horror film though our mythology is rich with such stories. Against that Hollywood creates mythology wirh fiction. That’s how the idea was hatched. ‘Maa’ is also produced by Jyoti Deshpande of Jio Studios. Ajay called Jyoti a great friend who supports good cinema. In a way, Jio Studios and Devgn Films will be seen as instigating the launch of the mythological horror genre. Shaitaan (2024) was their earlier coproduction.
