Katrina Kaif is set to make her return to the big screen with the sequel of the horror film Maa, which starred Kajol and released in 2025. The film failed at the box office and was criticised for poor VFX and a weak story.
The choice has surprised many, given Kaif previously starred in big-budget films with Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. The Maa sequel is part of the same universe as Shaitaan, but the original was widely panned.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Kaif last appeared in Tiger 3 (2023), a major hit. Her two-year break followed marriage and childbirth. The Maa sequel is a risky return vehicle: the original earned around Rs 15 crore against an estimated budget of Rs 40 crore, a clear loss. The horror-comedy genre has produced hits like Stree and Munjya, but the Maa brand carries negative sentiment. Producer Ajay Devgn will need to address the VFX complaints that sank the first film. The sequel's fate will depend on its teaser reception and whether it can distance itself from the original's reputation.
