Kajol is making her horror film debut in Maa, and some exciting changes are on the way. The film, directed by Vishal Furia, is currently in its final stages before release.
Amid this, Kajol’s husband Ajay Devgn and the film’s producer, have suggested adding more action sequences after watching the initial cuts. This decision has led to plans for an additional shoot scheduled for November in Mumbai.
Kajol To Shoot More Action Scenes For Maa
Ajay Devgn’s involvement in Maa goes back to its inception. The concept was pitched to him by writer Saiwyn Quadras, and he was quick to jump on board.
A source revealed to mid-day, “Ajay liked it and set things into motion. Recently, the actor watched the rough cut and loved it. That was immensely encouraging for Vishal, who has displayed his command over the genre with Chhorii [2021]. Ajay gave him a few inputs to enhance the narrative.”
The film wrapped its primary shooting in mid-May, but the team is returning to the set for some additional scenes. Devgn believes these new sequences will boost the emotional and action elements of the film. They will also create a more engaging blend of horror and human connection.
“He felt adding some emotional moments would increase the audience’s investment in the mother-daughter story,” said the insider.
Here’s Who Will Direct The New Scenes In The Film
The new action scenes will be directed by RP Yadav, known for his impressive work on Tanhaji (2020) and Shaitaan. Yadav’s expertise aligns perfectly with Devgn’s vision for the film. “Since Maa is an emotion-driven story at its crux, the action needs to be contextual and realistic. Keeping that in mind, the action director and Furia are designing the new sequences,” the source added.
About Maa
Set against the rural backdrop of Chandanpur in West Bengal, Maa tells the story of a mother (played by Kajol) who fights to protect her daughter from a supernatural entity. This film is especially meaningful for Kajol as it marks her first venture into the horror genre.
To accommodate Kajol’s busy schedule, as she finishes filming for The Trial Season 2, the team will return to Mumbai in November for a five-day shoot.
