Shraddha Kapoor steps into Sridevi’s shoes for sequel to Chaal Baaz (1989)

Shraddha Kapoor is gearing up for her first double role by stepping into Sridevi’s shoes for the sequel to Chaal Baaz (1989), which is titled Chaalbaaz in London.

The upcoming film will be co-produced by T-Series and Paper Doll Entertainment, while Pankaj Parashar will return to helm the sequel.

The official motion poster released by the makers on Saturday showed the glitzy title and new setting.

The original film starred Sridevi as twin sisters Anju and Manju who were separated at birth. One is meek and submissive, while the other is a firebrand. In a twist of fate, they end up accidentally switching places and fixing each other’s lives for the better.

Sunny Deol and Rajinikanth starred as Sridevi’s love interests in the film. Kapoor’s co-stars are yet to been announced.

Sridevi won a Filmfare Award for Best Actress for her performance — her first for a Hindi film.
