Justice Returns: Karishma Tanna and Khushi Kapoor to Lead Sridevi’s Legacy in Mom 2
The emotional spirit of Mom finds a new life as Karishma Tanna joins Khushi Kapoor in a powerful, justice-driven drama produced by Boney Kapoor and directed by Girish Kohli.
Bollywood is set to revisit the emotional world of Mom, the 2017 National Award-winning film that marked Sridevi’s final and unforgettable performance. The sequel, titled Mom 2, is now officially in the works with Karishma Tanna and Khushi Kapoor leading the cast. The project will once again be produced by Boney Kapoor, promising to carry forward the film’s essence while introducing a bold, modern take on its themes of justice and resilience.
Karishma Tanna, who won acclaim for her performance in the Netflix series Scoop, is stepping into a commanding role, while Khushi Kapoor—Sridevi’s daughter—will bring a youthful energy to the story. Insiders reveal that their pairing offers a dynamic contrast, with Tanna’s emotional depth complementing Kapoor’s fresh presence. Early buzz from industry circles suggests that this unlikely duo could deliver one of the year’s most compelling performances.
Unlike what the title suggests, Mom 2 will not be a direct continuation of the original film’s storyline. Instead, it is described as a thematic successor—a standalone film that echoes the original’s emotional and moral intensity. It will delve into contemporary ideas of justice, courage, and female empowerment while delivering high-stakes suspense and gripping emotional drama.
Taking over the director’s chair this time is Girish Kohli, who co-wrote the original Mom and has previously worked on acclaimed films like Kesari and HIT: The First Case. His transition from writer to director has raised expectations for a strong narrative foundation paired with powerful performances.
The original Mom, starring Sridevi, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Akshaye Khanna, won two National Awards—for Best Actress (posthumously for Sridevi) and Best Background Score (A.R. Rahman). The 2017 film became a benchmark for emotionally driven thrillers with female leads, and Mom 2 seems poised to continue that legacy while reimagining it for a new generation.
The production is currently in progress, with Boney Kapoor overseeing every detail. While the story and supporting cast remain under wraps, the project’s confirmation has already generated excitement among fans of both the original film and its iconic lead actress.
With its powerful combination of legacy, emotion, and fresh talent, Mom 2 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated Bollywood projects of the coming year—one that promises to honour the past while redefining the idea of justice for today’s audience.
