The latest addition to the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe is Aneet Padda. Her role in the upcoming film Shakti Shalini was confirmed during the post-credit scene of Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna’s Thamma. Now, Khurrana has officially welcomed the Saiyaara star in the MHCU and penned a lovely note for her.
Expressing his joy over a fellow Punjabi bagging a big project, Ayushmann wrote, “Welcome to the MHCU @aneetpadda_ Punjabi aa gaye oye!! From one dreamer to another- keep chasing what you want. Nothing is impossible.. so proud to see someone from Punjab making us all proud.. Can’t wait to see you shine in Shakti Shalini! Onwards and upwards Aneet.”
Along with the note, he shared a screenshot of the post credit scene that announced Aneet as the lead in Shakti Shalini.
The actress reposted this and wrote, “Khurrana ji da munda is making waves like always
thank you so much, it’s a little extra special coming from someone I look up to so much. So so grateful for the warm welcome @ayushmannk”
Aneet’s casting in the film was confirmed after a lot of speculation and needless to say, her fans were elated. The actress was introduced along with the tag line of the film that read, “The protector. The destroyer. The mother of all.” Talking about roping in the Saiyaara star, filmmaker Amar Kaushik, who is an important part of the MHCU, told Filmfare, “We wanted someone younger for that character, someone who doesn’t have a baggage. We wanted a character like that and it evolved as we kept writing. She is also a very good actor. Not just Saiyaara, but I have seen her work besides that. She caught things really well during the screen test and the reading. We had brought in Abhay Verma in Munjya (2024), who was very new at that time. But he went well with the character, so we stuck to him. That’s our thing.”
Shakti Shalini will be released on December 24 next year.
