Mom 2: Khushi Kapoor Steps Into the Legacy of Sridevi’s Iconic Film
Mom 2 is officially in the works, bringing back the legacy of one of Sridevi’s most celebrated performances. The sequel has been announced with Khushi Kapoor playing the lead role, marking one of the biggest projects of her career so far.
The announcement has generated excitement among movie lovers, especially because Mom (2017) was the final film released during Sridevi’s lifetime and remains one of her most acclaimed performances.
Khushi Kapoor Takes the Lead
After making her Bollywood debut with The Archies, Khushi Kapoor went on to appear in Nadaaniyan and Loveyapa. However, the films did not achieve major commercial success.
Now, the young actress is hoping to make a strong comeback with Mom 2, a project that carries emotional significance for her family and high expectations from audiences.
A Sequel to the 2017 Classic
According to the makers, Mom 2 will continue the story of the 2017 thriller.
The original film, directed by Ravi Udyawar, featured Sridevi in a powerful performance that earned her the National Film Award for Best Actress posthumously after her passing in 2018.
The sequel aims to build on that legacy with a fresh story while retaining the emotional essence of the original.
Production Details
Mom 2 is being directed by Girish Kohli and produced by Boney Kapoor.
The film has reportedly been shot in Noida and Greece. Alongside Khushi Kapoor, the cast also includes Jisshu Sengupta and Karishma Tanna in key roles.
The makers are planning to release the film in theatres in November 2026.
A Big Responsibility for Khushi Kapoor
Taking forward a film that is closely associated with Sridevi is undoubtedly a major challenge.
Fans have high expectations from Mom 2, given the emotional connection audiences have with the original film. For Khushi Kapoor, the sequel presents an opportunity to establish herself with a performance-driven role after her initial projects received a mixed response.
Whether Mom 2 can recreate the emotional impact of its predecessor will become clear when it reaches theatres later this year.
