‘Maa’ Trailer Out: Kajol’s Powerful Role as a Mother Battling Supernatural Forces
Bollywood star Kajol will debut in a horror film with the upcoming film Maa. She is back on the big screen after the 2024 film Do Patti, and this time, she steps into the world of mythological horror. Apart from Kajol, Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta, and Kherin Sharma also feature in vital roles in the film.
The official trailer was launched on May 29, 2025, at a grand event in Mumbai, where Kajol was present along with her husband and this film producer, Ajay Devgn, and their son, Yug.
Maa is directed by Vishal Revanti Furia and is scheduled to release on June 27, 2025, in multiple languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali.
The just-released trailer begins with Kajol driving in a thick forest along with her daughter, who suffers from period cramps. The journey takes a ghastly turn as an unknown girl magically appears, taking them into the depths of darkness. Kajol instructs her daughter to stay on the path without going astray, but curiosity gets the better of the child, leaving her in danger, adding to the suspense and horror quotient.
In the movie, Kajol plays a vengeful mother who battles dark supernatural forces to rescue her daughter. The film is set against the eerie backdrop of a haunted forest and a cursed village named Chandanpur, where an evil force requires the blood of baby girls who are offered as sacrifices. The character of Kajol embodies protective maternal instinct, which turns into an avenging force like goddess Kali to break the curse and save her child
The Maa trailer has been appreciated for its dark and intriguing atmosphere, blending supernatural horror and emotional depth. Fans have been supportive about Kajol’s new persona, embracing the film’s departure from typical Bollywood genres and its approach to horror inspired by mythology and motherly love.
