R Madhavan made a surprise appearance at the trailer launch of Maa, the upcoming mythological horror film starring Kajol, held in Mumbai on May 29. The event took a chillingly exciting turn when Madhavan—who played the menacing antagonist in last year’s Shaitaan—walked in unannounced, setting the tone for what promises to be the next dark chapter in the shared horror universe.
R Madhavan surprises audience at Maa Trailer launch; hints major connect with Shaitaan universe
Flying down to Mumbai just for a day, Madhavan’s appearance not only delighted fans and the press but also hinted at deeper narrative ties between Shaitaan and Maa, both produced by Ajay Devgn and presented by Jio Studios and Devgn Films. At the trailer launch, Kajol was joined by her husband and co-producer of the film, Ajay Devgn, with whom she shares the screen universe in this horror saga Ajay gave a warm welcome to the Pan India star further expressing gratitude towards this sweet gesture.
He said, “He (Madhavan) was shooting in Chennai but he flew to the city specifically to attend this event. Thank you so much”. As Madhavan stepped on stage, there was a moment of surprise and excitement, followed by a hug from Ajay Devgn. After greeting each other, Maddy remarked, “Whenever we hug on stage it has been really lucky” leaving everyone in splits.
Shaitaan, which released in 2024, was a massive success, featuring Madhavan in one of his most critically acclaimed roles. The actor’s eerie charm and menacing screen presence had set a high bar for Indian horror. His presence at the Maa trailer launch seemed to pass the torch, or perhaps extend the darkness, to this mythological horror headlined by Kajol.
Directed by Vishal Furia, Maa explores the story of a mother who channels the goddess Kali to battle a demonic curse that haunts her family. The trailer reveals an intense, visually gripping narrative steeped in Indian mythology and spiritual vengeance, with Kajol in a role unlike any she has played before. The film also stars Indraneil Sengupta, Kherin Sharma, and Ronit Roy in pivotal roles. Maa is set for a theatrical release on June 27, 2025.
R Madhavan’s surprise entry at the trailer launch not only stirred excitement but added weight to the shared world of Shaitaan. Whether his character returns or not, the darkness clearly continues to spread.
