For 'Maa' actress Surjasikha, strength of character takes precedence over screen time

Rising actress Surjasikha Das talks passion, character strength, and working with Kajol in upcoming film 'Maa'

"For me, it was never about the length of screen time but the strength of the character - Surjasikha Das"

Mumbai, June 5

Actress Surjasikha Das, who is gearing up for the release of her upcoming film ‘Maa’, has said that for her the length of a role is secondary or even tertiary but the substance of the character is something that she can’t compromise with.

The actress made waves with her appearance in the popular series ‘Call Me Bae’, is set to take a significant leap in her acting career with ‘Maa’. The film, helmed by Vishal Furia, explores themes of motherhood, sacrifice, and the quiet strength of women.

Talking about the film, Surjasikha told IANS, “Saying yes to ‘Maa’ was an easy decision for me. Firstly, it’s a project backed by some of the biggest and most respected names in the industry, Ajay Devgn, Jyoti Deshpande, and Kumar Mangat. Being associated with a production of that scale is a huge honour for any actor, especially someone like me who is still finding her feet in the industry. Secondly, I’ve always wanted to work with Vishal sir”.

She further mentioned, “His stories have such depth and emotional intensity, and I knew this would be a performance-driven role, which is what I crave as an actor. For me, it was never about the length of the screen time but the strength of the character”.

The actress also expressed how sharing screen space with Kajol was nothing but magic, as she said, “Sharing screen space and dialogues with Kajol ma’am, someone I’ve admired since childhood was truly surreal. I still remember watching her on screen for the first time as a little girl and now acting alongside her feels like life coming full circle”.

‘Maa’ is backed by an impressive team including Ajay Devgn, Jyoti Deshpande, and Kumar Mangat. The film is scheduled to hit theatres on June 27, 2025.

So refreshing to see young actresses prioritizing substance over screen time! In an era of item numbers and glam roles, Surjasikha's approach is commendable. Can't wait to see her share screen space with Kajol - that's dream casting right there! 🤩

Vishal Furia is known for intense storytelling. If he's chosen Surjasikha, she must have something special. Hope this film gives us another strong female character like his previous works. Bollywood needs more meaningful mother roles beyond the typical 'maa ka pyaar' stereotypes.

While I appreciate her dedication, I hope this isn't just PR talk. Many newcomers say they want meaningful roles but eventually chase commercial projects. Prove us wrong, Surjasikha! The industry needs more actors who walk the talk.

Kajol and a new talent together? Interesting combo! Kajol has always brought out the best in her co-stars. Remember her chemistry with Rani in K3G? Hope this becomes another memorable female duo in Bollywood. All the best to the team!

Saw her in Call Me Bae and she was brilliant! So happy she's getting good opportunities. More power to actors who value craft over fame. Also, June 2025 release? That's quite a wait yaar! 😅

Ajay Devgn's production house has been backing some really good content lately. Between this and her web series work, Surjasikha seems to be making smart career choices. Hope the film lives up to expectations!
