During the promotions of her film MAA, actress Kajol shared an anecdote about places she found eerie — naming Ramoji Film City as one of the most “haunted” locations in her experience. Though the remark was made in a light-hearted context, it quickly went viral, sparking a flurry of speculation and social media chatter.
As online discussions grew, with several users and even actors recalling their own uncanny experiences at the famed Hyderabad-based film studio, Kajol has now stepped in to clear the air.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), she posted a statement to address the growing buzz around her earlier comments:
“I wish to address my earlier remark about Ramoji Film City in the context of promoting my film MAA. I have filmed multiple projects at Ramoji Film City and stayed there many times over the years. I have always found it to be a very professional environment for filmmaking, and I have seen so many tourists enjoying themselves. It’s a great destination and absolutely safe for families and children.”
While Kajol did acknowledge her personal feelings during one stay, she emphasized that it never stopped her from continuing to shoot at RFC over the years. Her statement comes at a time when the “haunted” label was once again being discussed across digital platforms.
With this clarification, Kajol reaffirmed her professional relationship with the iconic film studio, calling it a “great destination” that is both family-friendly and a vital part of Indian cinema’s infrastructure.
