The very lovely Sridevi lost her life in a freak accident in a bath tub, in Dubai recently. Needless to say, Bollywood and its followers were shocked with this tragedy. The Kapoors stood by each other during the troubled times and are trying to sail through these trying times. Janhvi, who is shooting for her Bollywood debut movie Dhadak, has now resumed work. The movie by Karan Johar will see Ishaan Khatter opposite late Sridevi's lovely daughter.

Shiddat was supposed to be shot with India-Pakistan partition as the backdrop.

Written by Gulab Gullati, the movie was supposed to have huge sets to depict the era. However, with KJO's recent revelation, it is not clear what movie exactly Madhuri would be working on. More on this front is yet awaited.

Sridevi on the other hand was last seen in the movie MOM. The film was directed by Ravi Udyawar and produced by Boney Kapoor. Sridevi played a vigilante, who sets out to avenge her daughter, played by Sajal Ali. Akshaye Khanna and Nawazuddin Siddiqui played supporting roles in the film.
