Shiddat: Madhuri Dixit to REPLACE late Sridevi in the film? Here's the TRUTH!

Late legendary actress Sridevi's untimely demise on 24th February due to accidental drowning came as a shock for her family as well as fans. Last seen on-screen in 'Mom', Sridevi was very excited for her next film 'Shiddat' to be produced by Karan Johar's 'Dharma Productions'. Sridevi Now, if recent buzz is to be believed, then another legendary actress Madhuri Dixit Nene may be seen replacing Sridevi in 'Shiddat'. Speaking about the same, sources told a leading entertainment portal that, "The dhak-dhak girl Madhuri Dixit will replace Sridevi in this cross-border period drama. The makers are in talks with Aaja Nachle actress to play Sridevi’s role. Since Madhuri is close to Karan Johar, she feels it’ll be her way to pay a memorable tribute to Sridevi, if she becomes the part of this project." Late Sridevi's sister Srilatha who was apparently present in Dubai with her, asked to remain silent over her death?

"There are a lot of speculative stories during the rounds about the star cast of Abhishek Verman's Shiddat but let us clarify, no one has been approached for the film yet. Karan is very sensitive about the Kapoor family and till all the post-death rituals of Sridevi are not completed, he wouldn't start anything. Also, Karan is not in the country so till he isn't back, nobody would be approached," a source close to Dharma informed Pinkvilla.
