Khushi Kapoor is reportedly gearing up for one of the biggest projects of her career with Mom 2, the sequel to Sridevi's critically acclaimed 2017 thriller. According to a report by Free Press Journal, the film is expected to arrive in theatres in November 2026.
Produced by her father Boney Kapoor, the emotional thriller has been filmed extensively in Noida and Greece and also stars Jisshu Sengupta and Karishma Tanna in pivotal roles.
Khushi Kapoor Takes Forward Mom Legacy
For Khushi Kapoor, Mom 2 marks a significant milestone as she steps into a project closely associated with her late mother, Sridevi. The original Mom, directed by Ravi Udyawar, became one of Sridevi's most-celebrated performances and was her final film before her death in February 2018.
Following her passing, Sridevi was posthumously honoured with the National Award for Best Actress for her performance in the film.
After making her acting debut as Betty in Zoya Akhtar's The Archies, Khushi appeared in films such as Loveyapa and Nadaaniyan. Mom 2 is now being viewed as an important film in her evolving career.
