Is Mom 2 Really Happening? Boney Kapoor Finally Breaks Silence!
At the 25th edition of the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards in Jaipur, veteran filmmaker Boney Kapoor set the internet abuzz by hinting at a potential sequel to Mom—the 2017 thriller that was legendary actress Sridevi’s final lead role. And here’s the big twist—he’s considering casting his daughter, Khushi Kapoor, in the lead!
Age Rating: PG-13
Language: Hindi (Expected), with possible multi-language release like the original.
Mom 2 in the Works? Here’s What Boney Kapoor Said
While speaking to the media, Boney Kapoor, 69, revealed his plans for Khushi Kapoor’s next project. “I have watched all three of Khushi’s films—Archies, Loveyapa, and Nadaaniyan—and now I am planning a film with her too. Besides No Entry Mein Entry, there would be a film with Khushi, and it could be Mom 2,” he stated, sending fans into a frenzy.
This remark has sparked speculation that Sridevi’s unforgettable role in Mom—a mother seeking justice for her daughter—might see a new dimension with Khushi Kapoor stepping into a powerful lead role.
A Legacy Like No Other: Can Khushi Kapoor Carry Forward Sridevi’s Iconic Role?
The 2017 crime-thriller Mom, directed by Ravi Udyawar, featured Sridevi in one of her most intense performances alongside Sajal Ali, Akshaye Khanna, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. The film was widely acclaimed for Sridevi’s compelling acting and emotional depth. If Mom 2 happens, it could be a defining moment in Khushi Kapoor’s career—taking on a role that carries immense emotional and cinematic weight.
Boney Kapoor on His Children’s Careers
While talking about his children’s professional journeys, Boney Kapoor expressed pride in both Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor’s acting careers. He also acknowledged Arjun Kapoor’s versatility, from romantic roles to playing a villain in Singham Again. Boney humorously added, “Anshula has immense talent too, and she is doing well. It’s only me who is struggling, so wish me luck that my struggles end! I have been working for the past 52 years, so please pray for my success.”
What Else is Boney Kapoor Working On?
Apart from the possible Mom 2, Boney Kapoor confirmed that his much-awaited film No Entry Mein Entry—the sequel to his 2005 hit No Entry—is set to begin production in July or August. The film will star Varun Dhawan, Arjun Kapoor, and Diljit Dosanjh, with female leads yet to be announced.
Will Mom 2 Happen? Here’s What We Know So Far
As of now, there is no official confirmation that Mom 2 is in active development. However, Boney Kapoor’s statement suggests serious discussions are underway. If greenlit, the film could serve as an emotional tribute to Sridevi while giving Khushi Kapoor a breakthrough role.
