Kajol made a heartfelt return to the big screen with her new movie Maa, which had its special premiere in Mumbai on Wednesday night. The event saw close friends and family members coming out in support, including her husband Ajay Devgn and their son Yug.
Ajay Devgn arrived solo and smiled for the cameras as he made his way into the venue. Their son Yug posed adorably with his mother, delighting photographers and fans alike. The warm family moments added an emotional touch to the evening.
Actor Vatsal Sheth, a longtime friend of the family, was also seen at the screening. He joined the celebration alongside several other familiar faces from the film industry. Actress Renuka Shahane was among those spotted at the event.
Maa, directed by Vishal Furia, is Kajol’s first theatrical release in three years. Her previous film on the big screen was Salaam Venky. This time, she takes on a completely different genre, surprising audiences with a supernatural story rooted in Indian mythology.
In a brief chat with the press, Kajol expressed her joy and nervousness about the release. “I am very excited. My film is coming to theatres after a long time, and I feel truly happy,” she said with a bright smile.
She added that actors must continue evolving in their careers. “Every actor needs to reinvent themselves. I never thought I’d do a horror film, but here we are.” She went on to describe the story as one of her personal favorites.
“I have always been a fan of Indian mythology. There are so many rich stories in our culture. When I read this script, I loved it right away,” Kajol explained.
The actress shared that working on this project felt deeply meaningful. “I’m very thankful that I got the chance to be part of this film. I think we’ve made a wonderful movie. Now the audience will decide. But maa ki kasam, we’ve really made a good one,” she laughed.
Maa is presented by Jio Studios and Devgn Films. It is produced by Ajay Devgn and Jyoti Deshpande, with Kumar Mangat Pathak serving as the co-producer. The film is set to hit cinemas nationwide on June 27.
With this movie, Kajol steps into a new space in her acting career, merging horror with mythology. The film has already sparked interest among fans, thanks to its unusual storyline and her powerful screen presence.
As the audience awaits its release, the star-studded screening added to the buzz. Kajol’s fans are eager to watch her in a different role, while her family’s public support highlights the strong bond they share.
The presence of Ajay and Yug at the event was not just a show of support but also a reminder of Kajol’s deep roots in both cinema and family. The trio’s simple yet sweet interactions captured the hearts of many at the event.
As the film gets ready for its theatrical run, the response from this early screening could offer a glimpse of its future success. Whether it’s the mythology, the emotional storyline, or Kajol’s performance, Maa promises something unique for cinema-goers this month.
