Bollywood actress Kajol, known for her impactful performances and candid personality, has stirred up conversation with a surprising revelation about Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad. In a promotional interview for her upcoming film MAA, the actress admitted that she has always found the iconic shooting location eerie, claiming it gives off “haunted vibes.”
Kajol did not cite specific events or supernatural encounters but mentioned that her experience there was unsettling enough to make her want to leave and never return. “Some places feel so strange that you just want to run away,” she said, describing the atmosphere at Ramoji as deeply discomforting.
Her comments have sparked a range of reactions online. While many fans accepted it as a personal belief, others criticized the statement, suggesting it could unfairly damage the reputation of one of India’s most renowned film sets. A section of social media also highlighted the contradiction that Kajol, despite her discomfort, has worked there on several occasions.
Located in Hyderabad, Ramoji Film City is considered one of the largest film studios in the world and has played host to countless Bollywood, Tollywood, and regional language films over the years. It remains a hub for cinematic storytelling with a legacy that stretches across decades.
Kajol’s husband, actor and producer Ajay Devgn, has frequently shot at Ramoji and was recently part of the Telugu epic RRR, much of which was filmed there. Although Kajol has never acted in a Telugu film, her insights as a veteran of the Hindi film industry carry weight.
The statement brings renewed attention to the idea of haunted film sets in India a recurring theme in celebrity interviews over the years. However, Kajol's words stand out due to the specificity and emotional intensity behind them.
It’s unclear whether Kajol will clarify or expand upon her remarks in future interviews. For now, her comments serve as a reminder that personal experiences, particularly when voiced by public figures, can quickly become part of wider conversations in the entertainment world. Whether it affects perceptions of Ramoji Film City in the long term remains to be seen, but the debate around superstition, belief, and professionalism in the film industry is once again in the spotlight.
