Filming Kicks Off in Mumbai

According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, Mom 2 officially went on floors last week in Mumbai, with almost ten days of shoot already completed. The report added that Khushi plays a crucial role this time, and production is progressing smoothly.

A source close to the project revealed, “Mom was directed by Ravi Udyawar. The sequel, however, is directed by Girish Kohli. He was one of the story writers of the first part and also single-handedly wrote its screenplay and dialogues. Producer Boney Kapoor realized that he will do justice to Mom 2 as he knows this series well and hence, gave him the responsibility. Also, Girish has proved his worth with the Sohum Shah-starrer Crazxy, which released earlier this year.”

A Grand Announcement in the Works

The insider further shared that an official announcement might be just around the corner.

“There’s a chatter that Boney Kapoor plans to announce this film in a grand fashion on his birthday, which falls on November 11. A clearer idea on this front will emerge in a few days," the source said.

If true, this would mark a fitting tribute - not only celebrating a father’s vision but also honouring Sridevi’s enduring cinematic spirit.
