Recently actress Janhvi Kapoor had announced that Madhuri Dixit will step into her mother Sridevi’s shoes for Abhishek Varman’s next, which will be produced Karan Johar. Now the filmmaker issued a clarification that the film is not titled ‘Shidhat’, Karan Johar tweeted, “Some clarifications!!!

Earlier there were reports that Karan had roped in Sridevi for ‘Shidhat’ that would also feature Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, and Sanjay Dutt. To be directed by Abhishek Varman, ‘Shiddat’ was reportedly supposed to bring back Sridevi with Sanjay Dutt after 25 years. The two had earlier featured together in ‘Gumrah’. Although now it’s confirmed that Madhuri has been taken on board for Abhishek’s next film, but it’s also clear that the film is not titled ‘Shidhat’.
Janhvi had announced it on her Instagram handle, but she did not mention the name of the film, “Abhishek Varman’s next film was very close to mom’s heart …Dad, Khushi and I are thankful to Madhuriji for now being a part of this beautiful film…”
Janhvi Kapoor will make her debut in ‘Dhadak’ which also will be a Karan Johar film.
