According to Hindustan times, in a Twitter post, the actor called Dushman ‘one of the scariest films’ she agreed to do and thanked the film’s team for making her comfortable with an ‘uncomfortable topic’. Besides Kajol, Dushman also starred Sanjay Dutt and Ashutosh Rana.

Dushman was produced by Pooja Bhatt and Mukesh Bhatt. It was the directorial debut of Tanuja Chandra and was a remake of the Hollywood film Eye for an Eye. Kajol played sisters Sonia and Naina with contrasting personalities. After the more outgoing sister Sonia is murdered by a serial offender Gokul (Ashutosh), the more introverted Naina decides to take revenge on him for Sonia’s death. She takes the help of a blind military veteran (Sanjay Dutt) in her mission.

Kajol was nominated for the Filmfare Award for Best Actress at the 44th edition in 1999, but eventually won for her performance in Karan Johar’s directorial debut Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998) instead. Ashutosh Rana won the award for Best Villain.

The actor was last seen in the film Salaam Venky directed by Revathy. She will be making her OTT debut with Disney+ Hotstar ‘The Good Wife’ later this year. The show is slated for release later this year.
