趣闻

Maa (transl. Mother) is a 2025 Indian Hindi-language mythological horror film directed by Vishal Furia. The film stars Kajol in the title role, alongside Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta, and Kherin Sharma. It is a spinoff to the 2024 film Shaitaan, being set in the same universe. After her husband dies due to a supernatural cause, a mother and her daughter visit his ancestral village, only to discover a demonic curse that puts their lives at risk. The mother puts up a fight and defeats the demon even while making tough choices. Maa was released theatrically on 27 June 2025. It received mixed reviews from critics who widely praised Kajol's performance but criticised the script.

Production

The film was officially announced in March 2025 as an expansion of the Shaitaan universe with a motion poster. Diya Annapurna Ghosh, who is daughter of director Sujoy Ghosh actually held the title rights of 'Maa' and wanted to make the film. But Ajay Devgn one day called up Sujoy Ghosh and asked for the film title. On being asked by her father Diya readily agreed to part with the title, as the script of film was still not ready.

Principal photography began in January 2024 in Kolkata. Filming was completed in May 2025 due to the addition of extra action scenes involving Kajol. The film has been primarily shot at three locations, including the historic Kalikapur Rajbari in Purba Bardhaman, West Bengal which is the setting for the entire story, Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad, and an iconic bakery on Park Street, Kolkata where key family moments were shot.
