Like Shraddha Kapoor aptly pointed out, Aneet Padda is the perfect blend of cuteness and acting, but that doesn’t mean she lacks fierceness. The ‘Saiyaara’ breakout star is reportedly playing both a goddess and a demoness in Maddock Horror Comedy Universe’s (MHCU) ‘Shakti Shalini’. After months of gruelling shooting that began in March this year, the film has now entered the final leg of production.

The current outdoor schedule is expected to continue through May, with the team aiming to wrap principal photography by the end of the month before shifting focus to post-production and VFX work. The makers are in no hurry to lock the release date yet. A source close to the film says, “The idea is to finish the film properly and then spend enough time on the VFX. If everything goes as planned, they’re looking at a January 2027 release.”
Since Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Love and War’ is scheduled to release on January 21, the source says, “The makers are tentatively looking at the first half of the month. [But the final] call will be taken post the release of ‘Cocktail 2’, from the same stable.”
‘Shakti Shalini’ marks a reunion for Aneet Padda and Vishal Jethwa, who previously shared the screen in the film, ‘Salaam Venky’ (2022)
