In response to the criticism, Kajol issued a clarification on X (formerly Twitter), stating:1
“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's initial comment reignited longstanding urban legends about RFC being haunted—stories that have been part of local folklore for years—her clarification aimed to reassure the public of the studio's safety and professionalism. The incident underscores the influence of celebrity statements and the importance of context, especially when discussing culturally significant landmarks.

As Maa approaches its release on June 27, the controversy surrounding Kajol's remarks has added an unexpected layer of intrigue to the film's promotion.
