Earlier this year, in March 2025, at the 25th IIFA Awards 2025 held in Jaipur, Boney Kapoor confirmed that he’s making a film with Khushi Kapoor and that it could be a sequel to Mom (2017), starring his wife and Khushi’s mother, the late Sridevi. It has now come to light that the film is indeed titled Mom 2. Yesterday, pictures from the sets surfaced on the internet. Bollywood Hungama has now learned some interesting stuff about the film. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Mom 2 went on floors just after Diwali, on October 26, in Mumbai. Nearly 10-11 days of the shoot have been completed and it is progressing well. Khushi Kapoor plays a crucial part and she’s joined by Karishma Tanna.”The source further said, “Mom was directed by Ravi Udyawar. The sequel, however, is directed by Girish Kohli. He was one of the story writers of the first part and also single-handedly wrote its screenplay and dialogues. Producer Boney Kapoor realized that he will do justice to Mom 2 as he knows this series well and hence, gave him the responsibility. Also, Girish has proved his worth with the Sohum Shah-starrer Crazxy, which released earlier this year.”The source also revealed, “There’s a chatter that Boney Kapoor plans to announce this film in a grand fashion on his birthday, which falls on November 11. A clearer idea on this front will emerge in a few days.”At the 25th IIFA Awards, Boney Kapoor had stated, “I have watched all of Khushi’s films The Archies, Loveyapa and Nadaniyaan. I am planning a film with her too, after No Entry 2. It could be Mom 2. She is trying to follow in the footsteps of her mother. Her mother was the top star in all the languages she worked in. I hope Khushi and Janhvi succeeded in this same level of perfection.”Meanwhile, fans are hoping that Boney’s other much-awaited film, No Entry 2, also goes on floors soon. It is the sequel to 2005’s biggest hit, No Entry. Also Read: Khushi Kapoor reveals her “holy grail” skincare picks for a natural festive glow, and more!.

Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar has raised objections to the use of the title Chandni Bar Returns by producer Sandeep Singh and director Ajay Bahl. The director, who helmed the original Chandni Bar (2001) starring Tabu, has complained with the Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPPA), claiming that the makers of the sequel are using his registered title without consent. The 2001 drama, which won multiple National Awards and cemented Bhandarkars place in Indian cinema, remains one of his most acclaimed works. In his complaint, Bhandarkar alleged that the title Chandni Bar belongs to him and that Singh and Bahl have proceeded without proper authorisation. Following his grievance, IMPPA has reportedly instructed the makers to stop using the title until the matter is resolved. Producers Respond With Legal Clarification In response, Sandeep Singhs Legend Studios has issued an official statement, countering Bhandarkars claims and asserting that they hold all necessary rights to proceed with the project. The studio clarified that they acquired the option rights to the title from the original producers of Chandni Bar, represented by the late R. Mohans wife, Lata Mohan Iyer, who is listed as the proprietor in the Government of Indias Trademark Registry. Co-producer Vishal Gurnani stated, Sandeep Singh’s Legend Studios has acquired the Option Rights of the said title from the Original Producers, who are also the owners of the Registered Trademark and IP owner of the original cult classic Chandni Bar (2001). We want to state that no other banner can legally make the said film. Our IP lawyers are replying to the concerned trade associations and are taking all necessary steps to validate and protect our legal rights. The studio also shared the official trademark certificate (Application Number 1662053, Class 41), which lists Lata Mohan Iyer as the proprietor, thereby substantiating its claim to the title. The Road Ahead for Chandni Bar Returns Despite Bhandarkars objection, Legend Studios has confirmed that the sequel is moving forward. The film, directed by Ajay Bahl, is slated for a worldwide release on December 3, 2026. The makers describe the project as a reimagined sequel that will retain the essence of the original while presenting a modern, gritty narrative for contemporary audiences. Legend Studios maintains that it is committed to honoring the legacy of the 2001 classic while ensuring that the production of Chandni Bar Returns remains legally compliant and respectful of its predecessors cultural impact.
