Khushi Kapoor begins shooting for Mom 2; unseen set photos emerge

Filmmaker Boney Kapoor’s younger daughter, Khushi Kapoor, has officially embarked on her acting journey with the commencement of filming for Mom 2, the sequel to her late mother Sridevi’s last film, Mom (2017). The original film was highly acclaimed and earned Sridevi a posthumous National Film Award for Best Actress, making the sequel a project of high expectations and emotional significance for fans.

Back in March this year, Boney Kapoor had announced that he was working with Khushi Kapoor on a new film and hinted at the possibility of a sequel to Mom. At that time, the announcement generated mixed reactions on social media, with fans debating whether Khushi could step into the enormous shoes of her legendary mother.

Khushi reportedly began shooting post-Diwali, and unseen images from the set surfaced on social media coinciding with her 25th birthday. In these pictures, Khushi is seen in a casual sweatshirt, looking comfortable yet focused on her role. She is joined on set by popular TV actor Karishma Tanna, who is seen wearing a traditional white salwar kameez.

Sources reveal that Mom 2 went on floors last week in Mumbai, and the first 10 days of shooting have already been completed. Khushi Kapoor will reportedly play a pivotal character in the storyline, suggesting that the sequel will focus on strong emotional arcs similar to the first film. The production is said to be progressing smoothly, and the team is optimistic about the project.

While the original Mom was directed by Ravi Udyawar, the sequel will be directed by Girish Kohli. Kohli, who contributed to the story and wrote the screenplay and dialogues for the first film, has now been entrusted with the directorial responsibilities. Boney Kapoor reportedly felt that Kohli’s familiarity with the series and his prior work on the Sohum Shah-starrer Crazxy made him the right choice to helm Mom 2.

There is also speculation regarding the official announcement of the sequel. Sources suggest that Boney Kapoor may unveil details of Mom 2 in a grand fashion on his birthday, November 11. Fans can expect promotional activities and formal announcements soon, which will likely include glimpses of Khushi Kapoor in her role and insights into the film’s storyline.

With the combination of Khushi Kapoor’s debut, a talented supporting cast including Karishma Tanna, and the legacy of Sridevi’s iconic performance in the original film, Mom 2 is already generating significant buzz in the Bollywood industry. The film is expected to explore themes of family, justice, and personal resilience, continuing the emotional depth that made the first film memorable.
