Kajol turns 51: A look at the upcoming projects of the Baazigar star

Kajol has had a solid run at the movies in recent years. While the actress had reduced her number of film appearances after welcoming her children, she is now back in full form. In 2025 alone, she has already had two big releases and has some exciting projects lined up.

Kajol`s 2025

Kajol began 2025 with the film Maa, which is part of the Shaitaan universe. It marked her first foray into the horror genre and was co-produced by her husband, Ajay Devgn. In the film, she plays a fiercely protective mother to a young girl.

Next, she appeared in the direct-to-OTT release Sarzameen, which premiered last month. Directed by Kayoze Irani, the film saw Kajol once again portraying a fiercely protective and loyal mother- this time to a son. She was paired opposite Prithviraj Sukumaran, marking her first collaboration with the Malayalam superstar. The movie also featured Ibrahim Ali Khan as the son of Kajol and Prithviraj.

What’s Next for Kajol?

Currently, Kajol has Maharagni – Queen of Queens in the pipeline. The film, directed by Charan Tej Uppalapati in his Hindi directorial debut, is a high-budget action thriller boasting an ensemble cast including Kajol, Prabhudeva, Naseeruddin Shah, Samyuktha Menon, Jisshu Sengupta, and Aditya Seal. The highly anticipated entertainer also marks Kajol and Prabhudeva’s reunion after 27 years.

The first teaser, released over a year ago, has yet to be followed by a release date. It opens with Prabhudeva stepping out of a charter plane, exuding swagger as he takes down a group of goons. The action then shifts to Samyuktha Menon, who, in the midst of a high-stakes chase, reveals her quest for revenge. Naseeruddin Shah appears as a man on his deathbed, sharing his final wish, before Kajol makes her grand entrance in her ‘Maharagni’ avatar — powerful, fierce, and packing a punch. The teaser promises a blend of intense action and gripping drama.

Directed and written by Charan Tej Uppalapati and produced by Harman Baweja and Venkata Anish Dorigillu under Baweja Studios and E7 Entertainments, Maharagni – Queen of Queens is a pan-India film set to release in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.

Apart from films, Kajol will also be debuting as a chat show host alongside Twinkle Khanna. The two powerhouse women will join forces in Prime Video’s upcoming original Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle, where they will interact with celebrity guests including Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Karan Johar, and more. The show promises to be bold, witty, and unapologetically unfiltered, offering hot takes on trending topics with the infectious energy of the two hosts.
