Actress Sridevi was all set to star in a period film set in the 1940’s for Dharma Productions in collaboration with Fox Star Studios and Sajid Nadiadwala. But since the legendary actress passed away last month, Madhuri Dixit will now be playing the role assigned to Sridevi. The yet to be titled film is expected to start rolling from early next year and is being directed by Abhishek Varman.

Sridevi’s daughter and upcoming actress Janhvi Kapoor confirmed this news via Instagram, “Abhishek Varman’s next film was very close to mom’s heart …Dad, Khushi and I are thankful to Madhuriji for now being a part of this beautiful film…”
