Following in mom Sridevi’s footsteps

Karishma Tanna, Boney Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor

Back in April, mid-day had reported that filmmaker Boney Kapoor was set to collaborate with his younger daughter Khushi Kapoor on a sequel to Sridevi’s 2017 acclaimed film Mom (Taking on mom’s legacy, April 11). The buzz is that the film went on floors in Mumbai shortly after Diwali, with around 10 days of shooting completed. On Khushi’s 25th birthday (November 5), a few pictures from the set surfaced online, showing her in a casual look alongside actor Karishma Tanna. Mom 2 is said to feature Khushi in a key role. We have learnt that Girish Kohli, who co-wrote and scripted Mom, is helming the sequel as he “understands the world of Mom best”. The buzz is that the film’s official announcement is expected around Boney’s 70th birthday on November 11.
