The big reveal happened in style – through a cryptic special video screened alongside the theatrical release of Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna's Thamma. But eagle-eyed fans leaked the clip on social media faster than you can say "boo!" In the teaser, Aneet's character is hailed as the "creator, destroyer, and mother of all," promising a goddess-like terror that chills to the bone. Adding fuel to the fire, a mysterious viral photo shows a woman in a flowing white lehenga, long braid swaying in a foggy forest. Her face? Hidden in shadows. Netizens are buzzing: Is this Aneet Padda herself? The speculation is wild!
Originally slated for an early 2025 drop, Shakti Shalini now eyes a spine-tingling Christmas release on December 24, 2026. This delay only amps up the hype for Aneet's first-ever horror venture. Why the switch from Kiara Advani? Insiders hint at scheduling clashes, but one thing's clear: Aneet's raw talent sealed the deal.
Aneet's journey from newbie to sensation has been lightning-fast. She debuted in 2022's heartfelt Salaam Venky opposite Kajol and Vishal Jethwa, earning nods for her emotional depth. Next, she shone in the web series Big Girls Don't Cry, sharing screen space with powerhouses like Pooja Bhatt and Raima Sen. But it was Mohit Suri's romantic drama Saiyaara that catapulted her to fame. Paired with Ahan Panday in their joint big-screen debut, Aneet's chemistry and charm stole hearts, proving she's no one-hit wonder.
Bollywood buffs, mark your calendars! With Shakti Shalini, Aneet Padda isn't just replacing a star – she's redefining horror one eerie frame at a time. Will this be her breakout blockbuster?
