However, Sridevi’s daughter Janhvi Kapoor has now confirmed that actress Madhuri Dixit will be stepping in to play the character that Sridevi was expected to play.

Janhvi confirmed the news through her Instagram account and wrote, “Dad, Khushi and I are thankful to Madhuriji for now being a part of this beautiful film.”
Shiddat also stars Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Sanjay Dutt as the lead characters. The film would have also marked Sridevi’s first film with Dharma Productions after Gumrah which also had Sanjay Dutt. Alia and Varun will be once again seen together after Badrinath Ki Dulhania.
Shiddat is jointly produced by Dharma Productions, Fox Star Studios and Sajid Nadiadwala and is expected to go on floors early next year. The film will be directed by Abhishek Verman.
