The actress will be seen slaying the devil in the upcming movie, Maa, scheduled to release on June 27.

Maa becomes a rare horror movie to not recive ‘A’ certificate from CBFC 

Horror movies generally receive an ‘adult only’ certificate from the CBFC owing to gore scenes, violence and creepy details. However, in a surprise, the members have passed the Kajol starrer with a U/A certificate, deeming it fit for public viewing even by patrons below 18 years of age. Moreover, the board did not cut or modify a single screen in the horror drama. |

An insider in the know told Bollywood Hungama, “The CBFC’s Examining Committee didn’t cut a single shot, though a few scenes are disturbing. And that’s not all. They also allowed the film to have a U/A 16+ rating. This means that the under-18 crowd can also view this film.” The publication also mentioned that horror movies such as Chhorii 2 (2025), 1920: Horrors Of The Heart (2023), Bhoot: Part One – The Haunted Ship (2020), Amavas (2019), Ghost (2019), Tumbbad (2018), all received an ‘adult' certificate. It must be noted that Ajay Devgn and R Madhavan's starrer Shaitaan, which released in 2024, was also passed with a U/A certificate.
