Actors Madhuri Dixit, Ravi Kishan and Triptii Dimri are set to star in Netflix’s upcoming comedy thriller film “Maa Behen”.
The streaming platform announced the project on Tuesday during an event unveiling its India release for 2026.
“Maa Behen” is about a conservative neighbourhood that is shaken when a mother, Rekha, and her two daughters, Jaya and Sushma, discover a neighbour’s dead body in their kitchen.
Directed by Suresh Triveni of “Tumhari Sulu” and “Jalsa” fame, the film explores how this unexpected event turns the mother-daughter trio into the talk of the town.
The film is produced by Vikram Malhotra and Suresh Triveni under Abundantia Entertainment, in association with Opening Image Films. The story has been penned by Triveni and Pooja Tolani, with Tolani also handling the screenplay and dialogues.
Dixit was captivated by the film’s dark-comedy tone and its compelling script.
“When Sureshji came to me with the script, I was immediately interested because I’m a big admirer of him and his work. When he narrated the story, it felt like a story of a dysfunctional family, and I really enjoyed listening to it,” Madhuri said.

“I wanted to do it because I haven’t done a comedy in a long time. That was the main reason. Once we all came together on set, the camaraderie and the understanding were amazing, it was immediate,” she added.
Triptii said she has been a huge fan of Madhuri.
“It was like one happy family working together, the credit goes to the director, producer and writer. I’m a huge a fan of Madhuri ma’am and she is very inspiring. She is a very good actress but she is a very nice human being and I’ve not seen a humble star like her,” she said.
Social media influencer Dharna Durga is also part of the movie.
