Mumbai: ‘Saiyaara’ actress Aneet Padda has caught fans’ attention with her schoolgirl look from the sets of upcoming film ‘Shakti Shalini’.
Pictures from the shoot made their way into social media platforms, sparking a wave of reactions, with fans praising her youthful charm and on-screen transformation.
The clip, reportedly shot in Gwalior, features Aneet in a schoolgirl avatar, giving audiences a peek into her character. She appears in a simple uniform with neatly braided hair, perfectly matching the film’s small-town setting.
Currently being filmed across different parts of Madhya Pradesh, the project is expected to present the 23-year-old actor in a role quite different from her earlier work.
The video has generated a lot of interest, building curiosity around her character and the storyline.
While many admired her look, others had varied opinions and began speculating about her role i
n the film.
One user wrote, “I hope this works for her, people are already out there ready to pounce.”
Another commented, “Maddock better make this one good. All the best to Aneet and the team.”
Speculating that the scene could be part of a flashback, one person remarked, “This is most probably a flashback. She is not playing a schoolgirl.”
Aneet was officially announced as the lead of ‘Shakti Shalini’ in 2025, with the film set to be a significant addition to the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe.
Her character was first teased in a post-credits scene of ‘Thamma’, released on October 21, 2025, where she was intriguingly described as “the creator, the destroyer, and the mother of all.”
‘Shakti Shalini’ is slated for a theatrical release later this year, and the recently surfaced video from the sets has only heightened anticipation.
Aneet has also teamed up again with Ahaan and Mohit Suri for another intense romantic drama backed by Yash Raj Films.
The yet-untitled project is expected to go on floors later this year and is aiming for a worldwide release in 2027.
