Kajol's statement
Kajol's experience of shooting 'Maa'
Speaking about the film, Kajol earlier told PTI, "When I agreed to do the film and heard the concept, I loved it. I'm a full mythological buff." "It took a lot from me because it's a horror film." "It was very, very draining as an actor also. Very emotionally draining as an actor to constantly keep that pitch 24x7 all the time in every shot," she said in a separate interview with IANS.
