Yesterday, Janhvi Kapoor took to social media to announce that Madhuri Dixit has replaced late mum Sridevi in Abhishek Varman's film. She wrote, "The film was close to mom's heart. Dad, Khushi and I are thankful to Madhuriji for now being a part of this beautiful film (sic)."

Karan Johar's production is said to star Sanjay Dutt, Varun Dhawan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Alia Bhatt and Sonakshi Sinha. With Mads stepping into the project, tongues have started wagging if she will be paired opposite Dutt. In the '90s, they were considered a hot pair with rumours about their alleged affair doing the rounds. The two were seen together in films like Saajan (1991) and Khalnayak (1993).
