You can become Nysa's friend. You will also become a grandmother one day. You are a mother. You have been my wife. You have played all these roles very well and naturally. You did not have to make any special effort. But today, being a man, I have to work hard to play all these roles.' Kajol further said, 'Women are taught this since childhood. We adjust so easily.'
Coming back to the trailer of Maa, this is the first horror movie of Kajol. Interestingly, the film is a mythological horror film. Kajol stars alongside Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta, and Kherin Sharma.

Set against the evocative backdrop of Indian folklore and supernatural suspense, Maa has garnered acclaim for its blend of emotional storytelling, powerful performances, and striking visual effects. Gulati's grounded portrayal of a duty-bound officer navigating a realm of spiritual unease provided a compelling anchor to the film's narrative.
