Pinkvilla had exclusively informed you last year that Kiara Advani and Dinesh Vijan are discussing a possible collaboration for a supernatural comedy. We also told you that this film will mark the beginning of a standalone franchise in the fantasy comedy field. Now according to the latest reports, War 2 actress Shakti Shalini is in the news.
According to a report published in India Today, it has been reported that Kiara Advani is going to join Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films for Shakti Shalini. Sharing with the publication a source was quoted as saying, “The film demands a leading lady who embodies strength and vulnerability simultaneously, and Kiara fits all the criteria. Talks are going on, but nothing has been decided yet.
If the speculations turn out to be true, then Shakti could be the actress’s first collaboration with a Shalini production house. Notably, last year in 2024, Kiara was spotted a few times at Maddock’s office for meetings, sparking speculations about their collaboration.
The production house has kept mum about the details of the film, but the buzz in the industry is enough to get fans excited. Just a few days ago, Maddock Films had announced the list of its upcoming films for the next four years. It was also revealed that Shakti Shalini is set to release later this year on December 31, 2025.
Meanwhile, we also told you that the film will go on floors by mid-2025 with a start-to-finish schedule and Kiara is also excited to explore a new genre. “It will star Kiara Advani and talks are in advanced stages. Once things are on paper, an official announcement will be made,” the source shared with us.
On the professional front, Kiara is currently awaiting the release of her upcoming Telugu film Game Changer with Ram Charan. The film will hit the silver screens on January 10, 2025.
