Aneet Padda casting rumors have been making headlines after her success in Saiyaara. Fans have been curious if she replaced Kiara Advani in the upcoming Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe film, Shakti Shalini. The speculation grew online, but the makers have now clarified the situation.
Maddock Films released a statement saying that any reports about casting for Shakti Shalini, Maha Munjya, or future projects are purely speculative. They asked fans to wait for official announcements. Despite this, industry insiders say Aneet has been in talks for over two months. Dinesh Vijan was reportedly impressed by her Saiyaara performance and wanted to bring fresh energy to the horror-comedy universe.
Aneet Padda’s Saiyaara crossed over Rs 500 crore at the box office. The film made her an overnight sensation and increased curiosity about her next projects. Kiara Advani’s name was previously linked to Shakti Shalini, but no deal was confirmed. If Aneet does lead, she could be the universe’s next scream queen.
The Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe has grown since Stree (2018), followed by Bhediya (2022) and Stree 2, which earned over Rs 857 crore worldwide. The next film, Thama, will release this Diwali featuring Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Paresh Rawal.
Aneet Padda casting rumors continue to excite fans, and many are waiting to see official confirmation. Her career trajectory after Saiyaara shows a promising rise in Bollywood’s horror-comedy genre.
