The film marks Kajol’s debut in the horror genre and showcases her in a powerful avatar of a mother willing to face demonic evil to protect her child. Directed by Vishal Furia and written by Saiwyn Quadras, Maa promises a unique cinematic experience by fusing supernatural horror with deep-rooted Indian mythology. Earlier in an interview with Variety, Kajol had shared her thoughts on stepping into the horror space for the first time. Stating that she was quite scared of shooting the film, she added, “It’s a psychological drama with elements of thriller and suspense.”

The motion poster offers viewers a peek into this dark and twisted world, where Kajol’s character is not just a protector, but also a fierce warrior battling forces beyond comprehension. The visuals are designed to be both haunting and compelling, and the poster’s release has only intensified the anticipation for the film’s trailer.

Joining Kajol in pivotal roles are Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta, and Kherin Sharma, forming an ensemble cast that adds gravitas to this mythological horror drama. With Ajay Devgn producing the project, Maa follows the thematic legacy of Shaitaan, where he starred, but this time puts Kajol at the centre of the battle against evil. Maa is scheduled for a theatrical release on June 27, and will be available in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali, further expanding its reach to a diverse audience across regions.
