(L-R) Kherin Sharma and Kajol in ‘Maa’
While promoting Maa (2025), Kajol had remarked that she would be open to a sequel if the horror film fared well at the box office. That was our first question when we met the actor months after the Vishal Furia-directed movie's release. Has she set the ball rolling on the sequel? "You have to ask Ajay Devgn this because he is the one producing it. But honestly, we're just thinking about it. There's nothing concrete," she shared.
Maa, set to première on Star Gold tomorrow, revolves around Kajol's character who has to rescue her daughter from a demonic force. As much as she relishes the idea of a sequel, she admitted to reeling from the after-effects of the film. "I have PTSD [Post Traumatic Stress Disorder] from the climax shoot. I think when we shoot [such intense] films, they alter us."
The makers had positioned Maa as part of the same horror universe as Devgn's Shaitaan (2024). When asked if there are plans to unite the two worlds, Kajol said, "We've thought about it. Everything is up in the air right now."
Reports suggest that Karan Johar is planning a sequel to âKabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham'. Has Kajol heard anything from Johar? She laughed and replied, "I haven't heard about it, but thank you for telling me. Naturally, I cannot confirm or deny it."
