Kajol’s ‘Haunted’ Comment on Ramoji Film City Sparks Debate

Bollywood actress Kajol, one of Indian cinema’s most iconic stars, recently stirred up conversation with her remarks about Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad. During an interview promoting her upcoming film MAA, the actress confessed to feeling uneasy while shooting at the famed studio, describing the location as giving off “haunted vibes.”

“There are some places where I’ve just wanted to get up and leave immediately,” Kajol said, adding that Ramoji Film City ranks among “the most haunted places in the world.” While she did not cite any specific incidents, her comments quickly gained traction on social media.

Reactions have been mixed. While many dismissed it as a personal impression, others questioned the impact of such a statement on the reputation of one of India’s premier film production hubs. Some even felt the comment could unintentionally affect the perception of a site that has played a vital role in shaping Indian cinema.

Ramoji Film City, located in Hyderabad, is a cornerstone of Indian film production, hosting a wide range of Bollywood, Tollywood, and multilingual shoots. Kajol herself has worked on several films there, and her husband, actor Ajay Devgn, continues to shoot at the location—most recently appearing in the Telugu blockbuster RRR.

Though Kajol has yet to make her debut in Telugu cinema, her consistent success in Bollywood keeps her in the limelight. Whether she chooses to elaborate on her experience or allow the comment to fade remains uncertain. However, the incident once again highlights the delicate balance between personal experiences and public discourse in the entertainment industry.
