‘Maa' trailer: Kajol turns mother protector in supernatural horror
A mother's fury and protection stands in the way of demonic powers in the trailer for Maa, a new supernatural horror film starring Kajol. Directed by Vishal Furia (Chhorii, Chhorii 2), the film is a fresh chapter in the world of Shaitaan, a hit 2024 horror film starring Ajay Devgn and R Madhavan. Much like Shaitaan, Maa centres on a family in peril. In the trailer, we meet a mother-daughter pair who take shelter in a forest. Besieged by evil roots and deadly sprites, they uncover the story of the 'daitya', a demonic spirit from Bengali folkore. The local community, blinded by superstition and ritual sacrifice, compounds the air of threat. According to a synopsis, 'MAA is the story of a mother who becomes Kali to end a demonic curse rooted in fear, blood, and betrayal.' With Kajol in the lead, the film also features Indraneil Sengupta, Kherin Sharma and Ronit Roy. Produced by Jio Studios and Devgn Films, Maa will release in theatres on June 27, 2025.
