After Janhvi Kapoor, the daughter of late Sridevi, announced that Madhuri Dixit will step into her mother’s shoes for Abhishek Varman’s next, Karan Johar has come out with some clarifications.
Karan Johar on Tuesday morning (March 20) took to his Twitter handle to clarify the film with Madhuri Dixit. He tweeted: “Some clarifications!!! Yes…we are honoured and humbled to have @MadhuriDixit on board for @abhivarman ‘s next! NO the film is NOT titled SHIDHAT! Yes the film will commence shoot in mid April! The film’s final cast and credits will be announced soon!”

Janhvi on Monday (March 19) announced that Sridevi will be replaced by Madhuri but she didn’t mention the film’s title. Her Instagram post reads as “Abhishek Varman’s next film was very close to mom’s heart …Dad, Khushi and I are thankful to Madhuriji for now being a part of this beautiful film…” She even shared the picture of Sridevi and Madhuri in her post.
Back in October 2017, filmmaker Karan Johar announced he was reuniting with Abhishek on a project that would be co-produced by Sajid Nadiadwala.
No other detail, including the film’s title and the primary cast, was, however, revealed.
Shiddat is scheduled to be released worldwide on April 19, 2019.
