Sharing the teaser of Kajol’s show, the makers wrote, “Kuch kuch ho raha hai, tum nahi samjhoge. Can you guess what we’re up to? 🤩”. The makers claim that the fans will see Kajol’s ‘all-new avatar’ in the upcoming Hotstar Specials.

Sharing her excitement, Kajol said in a statement, “Exploring new formats is always a challenge; but it’s a great thing as I love to take challenges head-on. Being an avid fan of digital series, the concept has always been intriguing; and after following cool shows such as Aarya and Rudra, I knew there was no other platform than Disney+ Hotstar to start my series journey.”

While more information about Kajol’s show is still under wraps, the web series is said to be directed by The Family Man 2 fame Suparn Varma.

A report by Peeping Moon shared some details about Kajol’s role in this web show. Kajol has reportedly signed this project as a female lead and will play the role of a mother and wife ‘who needs to start her career for the sake of her family’.

A source shared with the publication, “Kajol will play the role of a new-age mom for one more time, however, this show has a lot more to it than meets the eye. It’s an intense drama with crime, politics, and family all thrown in to make it an engaging watch. It’s a high-concept storyline and has been planned as a multi-season show.”

Kajol made her debut on OTT with her Netflix film Tribhanga. The film also starred Tanvi Azmi and Mithila Palkar in lead roles along with Kajol. Kajol was recently in the headlines as she got an invitation to join the Academy Awards Jury.
