They were supported by Ajay Devgn, who is both an actor and producer, alongside producer Kumar Mangat Pathak, director Vishal Furia, and creative producer Vishal Danish Devgn. R Madhavan made a surprise appearance, adding to the event\u2019s excitement.<\/p>\n<p>Kajol expressed her enthusiasm, saying, \u201cThis is the first time a mythological horror film is being attempted. I\u2019m thrilled to be part of it with such a strong team behind me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One unique aspect revealed during the launch was that the names listed in the film&#8217;s credits included the mothers&#8217; names as middle names. When questioned about this, Ajay Devgn explained, \u201cWe\u2019re making a film called <em>Maa<\/em>. Traditionally, we mention fathers&#8217; names, but we felt it was time to honor mothers. So, we decided to include their names in the credits.\u201d This thoughtful gesture received a warm round of applause from the audience.<\/p>\n<p>When the host asked about the casting process, Kajol joked, \u201cIt all started at home! Who else would he imagine in a horror role besides me?\u201d Ajay laughed and replied, \u201cEvery husband would cast his own wife!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On a more serious note, Ajay shared his thoughts about the film&#8217;s concept. \u201cWhen Saiwyn Quadras presented this idea, I realized that while many horror films are being made, no one has tried a mythological horror film, even though our mythology is rich with stories. In Hollywood, they create characters without drawing from their own mythology. We have such a wealth of content, and we wanted to explore this. The mother\u2019s character is pivotal. Who better than her?\u201d he stated, pointing to Kajol.<\/p>\n<p><em>Maa<\/em> is also produced by Jyoti Deshpande of Jio Studios. Ajay praised her, saying, \u201cShe\u2019s been a fantastic supporter of good cinema and always stands by us in our projects. We\u2019re grateful for her partnership.\u201d Jio Studios and Devgn Films lead the way in the mythological horror genre, previously collaborating on the film <em>Shaitaan<\/em> (2024), which also explored this theme.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actors Kajol and Kherin Sharma unveiled the trailer for their upcoming film Maa at a multiplex in Mumbai.
