Mom 2 Production Officially Underway in Noida Film City
Nearly a decade after the late legendary actress Sridevi delivered her powerful final performance in the acclaimed thriller Mom, plans for its highly anticipated sequel have officially moved into active production. Producer Boney Kapoor, who had previously revealed his intention to continue the impactful story, has now confirmed that filming is currently in progress at Noida's expansive Film City complex. This marks a significant and concrete step forward for the long-awaited follow-up project, which carries substantial emotional weight for audiences and the film industry alike.
Boney Kapoor Confirms Shooting Details and Key Cast Members
In a recent statement to ANI, producer Boney Kapoor provided fresh details about the ongoing production. He confirmed that principal photography for Mom 2 is actively underway. Kapoor revealed that actors Jisshu Sengupta, known for his work in Bengali cinema, and television star Karishma Tanna are currently shooting pivotal roles for the project. The film is being directed by Girish Kohli, who previously served as the writer for the original Mom installment, thereby ensuring a strong degree of creative continuity and narrative consistency.
"The shooting of the film Mom 2 is going on here. The director is Girish Kohli, who was the writer of Mom 1. We have technicians from different places; we have an actor from Bengal, Jisshu, and have a television actor, Karishma Tanna, who is also playing a very important part in the film," Kapoor stated explicitly during the interview.
Khushi Kapoor's Role Remains Carefully Guarded
Although Boney Kapoor had earlier indicated that his daughter, Khushi Kapoor, would feature prominently in the sequel, he did not elaborate on her specific involvement or character details in this latest update. The young actor has already made her formal entry into the film industry and has begun building her filmography. Her professional debut came with the Netflix film The Archies, directed by Zoya Akhtar, which also introduced Suhana Khan, daughter of superstar Shah Rukh Khan, to audiences.
Sequel Carries Cinematic Legacy and Emotional Significance
The original Mom film is widely remembered and celebrated as Sridevi's final on-screen appearance before her tragic passing. It received widespread critical acclaim for its intense, gripping narrative and her commanding, unforgettable performance. The sequel, therefore, naturally carries not only considerable cinematic anticipation but also deep emotional significance for fans and the Kapoor family. With production now firmly underway and a strategic mix of seasoned performers and fresh faces on board, Mom 2 aims to respectfully build on that powerful legacy while presenting audiences with a compelling new chapter in the story.
The project represents a careful blend of honoring the past and embracing the future, with the production team assembling a diverse crew of technicians from various regions to bring this vision to life. As shooting progresses in Noida, more details about the plot, additional cast members, and the release timeline are expected to emerge in the coming months.
