Earlier, according to a report by Pinkvilla, Aneet has reportedly secured the lead role in Maddock's upcoming horror-comedy film Shakti Shalini, replacing Kiara Advani, who is currently on maternity leave following the birth of her daughter.

The statement read, "While we truly value the excitement around our horror-comedy universe, we want to make it absolutely clear that any reports regarding the casting of the upcoming chapters, including Shakti Shalini and Maha Munjya, are purely speculative"

"We urge the media to avoid misinformation and to wait for official announcements from us," read the statement.

Earlier, the source shared that Aneet has already done her look test for the film, "Shakti Shalini is expected to begin towards the end of 2025. While the director’s name has been kept under wraps for now, Dinesh Vijan is keen to rope in Aditya Sarpotdar (Munjya fame) for the part. However, the final call on direction will taken in a fortnight."
