Aneet has officially been confirmed as the lead in Shakti Shalini, marking her first venture into the horror-comedy genre. The film’s release date has been shifted to December 24, 2026, instead of the previously planned 2025.
The announcement was made in a special video attached to the theatrical print of Thamma, but the clip later leaked on social media, stirring curiosity among fans.
