Kajol, a celebrated Bollywood actress for over 30 years, is stepping into the horror genre for the first time with her upcoming film Maa.
The film centers on a mother's fierce protection of her daughter against dark forces, featuring intense and graphic scenes, including Kajol's character enduring brutal torture.
"The film's trailer shows its immense scale and grotesque horror," highlighting a departure from Kajol's usual roles.
Kajol credits her evolving calmness as a parent for shaping her approach to this bold role.
"I used to be an Eela, but not anymore; I am much calmer and cooler," she shared, reflecting on how motherhood has influenced her.
Her children, Nysa and Yug, however, prefer lighter entertainment.
"They are very clear about it: 'We can't watch you crying on screen; you should do films like papa does. Do Golmaal!'" Kajol explained, noting their wish for her to star in comedies without emotional distress.
Despite their preferences, Kajol embraces this new challenge, marking a significant shift in her career and showcasing her versatility.
This role in Maa not only highlights Kajol's acting range but also mirrors her personal growth as a calmer parent, blending her life experiences with her craft.
The film promises a gripping narrative of maternal courage set against a backdrop of horror, with Kajol at its intense emotional core.
