The poster of her film was released earlier on the actress’ social media handle, which seems to be a mother, portrayed by Kajol, protecting her child from evil entities.

“I love coming to Kolkata. I have complete faith in ‘Maa’. I feel like I’m coming to my mother’s house. Before starting the promotion, I thought of seeking blessings from Maa and I did. So I’m very happy,” said Kajol.

Talking about her film, she said, “I think this is the strongest role I have ever played. The title of the film is perfect for it; it’s called Maa.”

It’s going to be something completely different and I’m sure it’s going to blow your mind,” she added.
