Kajol praises husband Ajay Devgn for being a 'hands-on' producer
Bollywood actor-couple Kajol and Ajay Devgn have worked together in multiple projects such as Ishq Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha, Dil Kya Kare Kare, and Tanhaji.
And now with the upcoming film Maa, the husband and wife are again all set to entertain the audience. This time, the couple don't share screen space but were deeply involved in making the film.
In an interview with ANI, Kajol opened up about collaborating with Devgn on Maa, describing him as "a hands-on producer".
"... From script to music and VFX, he has given a lot of attention to every part of this film. I think VFX is a huge part of the film. And, as they say, shooting VFX is a different game... so he has given a lot of detail...," Kajol said.
Directed by Vishal Furia, Maa marks Kajol's return to the big screen after a three-year hiatus with Salaam Venky.
"...Every actor has to reinvent himself/herself with time. I had never thought I would do a horror film, but here we are. I am extremely proud of this film," she said. "I love our Indian mythology. We have so many stories. So, I think it was one of my favourite stories."
Presented by Jio Studios and Devgn Films, Maa will hit the theatres on June 27.

Bollywood stars Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan reached Karisma Kapoor's residence late Thursday night, hours after the actress's ex-husband and Chairman of Sona Comstar, Sunjay Kapur, passed away in England at the age of 53. Karisma Kapoor, who is currently in Mumbai, was visited by her sister Kareena Kapoor Khan and actor Saif Ali Khan to console her for the death of her ex-husband Sunjay Kapur. Kareena, who looked visibly distressed, hid her face to avoid being papped. Saif accompanied her, and the couple offered support to Karisma in these distressing times. According to the visuals, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan were spotted arriving at Karisma Kapoor's residence late Thursday night. Sunjay was actor Karisma Kapoor's former husband. The couple became parents to daughter Samaira in 2005 and son Kiaan in 2011. In 2014, Karisma and Sanjay filed for divorce through mutual consent. Their divorce was finalised in 2016. After the separation, Sunjay married Priya Sachdev. Actor and friend of Sunjay Kapur, Suhel Seth, confirmed the demise of Sunjay Kapur to ANI on Thursday, saying that the industrialist died of a heart attack, apparently after swallowing a bee during a polo match in England. Suhel also shared this unfortunate news on his X handle. "Deeply saddened at the passing of @sunjaykapur: he passed away earlier today in England: a terrible loss and deepest condolences to his family and to his colleagues @ Shanti," he posted. On Friday, Sona Comstar also confirmed the demise of Sunjay Kapur by sharing a long, long tribute post for the late Chairman on their X handle. The automotive company wrote, "It is with profound sorrow that we announce the untimely passing of Mr. Sunjay J Kapur, Chairman and Non-Executive Director of Sona Comstar, following a sudden heart attack in England, UK, on 12th June 2025, at the age of 53." They further called him a "visionary leader" who played a pivotal role in shaping Sona Comstar into a global mobility technology company. Sona Comstar wrote, "A visionary leader, Mr. Kapur played a pivotal role in shaping Sona Comstar into a global mobility technology company built on innovation, sustainability, and purpose. His passion, foresight, and relentless commitment to excellence inspired everyone who had the privilege of working with him." Just a few hours before his demise, Sunjay had expressed grief over the tragic Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, which took place on Thursday. "Terrible news of the tragic Air India crash in Ahmedabad. My thoughts and prayers are with all the families affected. May they find strength in this difficult hour. #planecrash," Sunjay's last post on X read. Many netizens expressed shock in the comment section.

Who were the pilots of ill-fated Air India flight that crashed?
[Editor's Note: Follow KT's live blog for all the latest updates on the Ahmedabad plane crash.] It should have been a routine long-haul Air India flight AI 171 of approximately nine hours or so from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad, in the Western part of India, to London's Gatwick Airport. But shortly after taking off from Runway 23 at 1.38pm (12.08pm UAE time), the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner with 242 people on board, made a mayday call to the air traffic control, before crashing into the residential area of Meghani Nagar. Air India said there were 169 Indian passengers, 53 British, seven Portuguese, and a Canadian on board the flight, and the two pilots and 10 cabin crew. Air India later confirmed that 241 died, while one passenger survived. Who were the pilots? The two pilots in command of the ill-fated AI 171 were captain Sumeet Sabharwal and First Officer Clive Kundar. According to media reports in India, which quoted the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), both the pilots had a combined flying experience of 9,300 hours. Captain Sabharwal had a flying time of 8,200 hours, while Kundar had 1,100 hours. Kundar's cousin is popular Indian actor Vikrant Massey. And Massey, who has acted in films like 12th Fail, Haseen Dilruba, Sector 36, Chhapaak and the famous OTT crime thriller Mirzapur, penned an emotional note on Instagram. 'My heart breaks for the families and loved ones of the ones who lost their lives in the unimaginably tragic air crash in Ahmedabad today. It pains even more to know that my uncle, Clifford Kunder, lost his son, Clive Kunder, who was the first officer operation on that fateful flight," the 38-year-old Massey wrote.
