Shoot days ahead
In October 2025, mid-day had reported how Aneet Padda replaced Kiara Advani in ‘Shakti Shalini’, the latest offering from Maddock Horror Comedy Universe, following her success in ‘Saiyaara’ (2025). The film, announced in the end credits of ‘Thamma’ (2025), is set to begin shooting this March. Now an interesting casting update has emerged. ‘Homebound’ (2025) star Vishal Jethwa is reportedly onboard as Aneet’s onscreen love interest. According to reports, his role “will go beyond a conventional romantic arc” and act as “both a catalyst and counterpoint to the protagonist’s journey”. The project reunites Aneet and Vishal after their earlier collaboration in ‘Salaam Venky’ (2022). ‘Shakti Shalini’ is slated for a December 24 theatrical release.
