He also revealed how he bagged the role. "When Anand (Tiwari) called me and told me about the film. It was during COVID-19 time and I was scared if I should do it or not. Then, he told me that Madhuri Dixit is also a part of it. So I said 'Ok.' Later, I thought there will be a part, then he told me that I am playing the role of Madhuri's husband and I said 'Fantastic.' But for a week there was no communication, and I felt that something was wrong, so I told (Anand) Tiwari: 'I'll change my name to Anil Kapoor but I want to play the role.' Then, of course, the script happened, but it was like a dream. Matlab ki aisa ho sakta hai, ki mujhe screen share karneka mauka milega is tarike se," Gajraj said.
In the film, Madhuri plays the role of Pallavi, a loving mother, and a delightful woman who is the backbone of her middle-class family. However, she unwittingly becomes a hurdle in her son's marriage plans and contests societal norms. Meanwhile, Maja Ma will start streaming on Amazon Prime Video on October 6, 2022.
