In a huge development for Bollywood and fans of the new generation of stars, actress Aneet Padda, who recently made a splash with her debut in the blockbuster film Saiyaara, is reportedly set to join Dinesh Vijan's hugely successful horror-comedy universe. According to sources, she is being considered for the lead role in the upcoming film, Shakti Shalini, a move that would mark a significant leap in her career.

A New Face for a Growing Universe

Dinesh Vijan's horror-comedy universe, which includes smash hits like Stree, Bhediya, and Munjya, has become a cinematic powerhouse, consistently delivering unique, entertaining, and profitable films. As the franchise expands, the makers are keen to introduce new talent, and Aneet Padda seems to be the top choice for the lead in the next chapter.

The news comes as a major buzz, with reports suggesting that Aneet has replaced Kiara Advani in the much-anticipated project. While Kiara was initially rumored to be attached to the film, sources indicate that Dinesh Vijan was highly impressed with Aneet's performance in Saiyaara and wanted to bring her fresh energy to the universe.

What We Know About Shakti Shalini

Shakti Shalini is poised to be the next major installment in the Maddock Films horror-comedy universe. While details are still under wraps, the film is expected to be a key chapter in the supernatural world built by Vijan. The film is reportedly set to go on floors later this year, with a release targeted for late 2025. The name of the director has not yet been officially announced, but there are strong rumors that Aditya Sarpotdar, who recently directed the highly successful Munjya, might be helming the project.

A Statement from the Makers

Amidst the speculation, Maddock Films released a statement urging the media and fans to avoid misinformation and wait for official announcements. The production house emphasized that any reports regarding the casting of their upcoming films, including Shakti Shalini and Maha Munjya, are "purely speculative."

However, industry insiders are confident that Aneet is in advanced discussions for the role, and an official announcement is just a matter of time. For an actress who just had her breakthrough with a romantic drama, joining a massive cinematic universe with a high-stakes horror-comedy would be a testament to her rising star power.

Keep an eye out for an official announcement from the makers, but for now, the buzz is undeniable: Aneet Padda is the new face of terror and comedy in Bollywood.
