Actress Sridevi was supposed to do a period film set in the 1940's for Dharma Productions in collaboration with Fox Star Studios and Sajid Nadiadwala. But due to her unfortunate demise, Madhuri Dixit will now be playing Sridevi's role in this film to be directed by Abhishek Varman. The untitled flick is expected to start rolling from early next year.

Sridevi’s daughter Janhvi Kapoor confirmed this news via Instagram, "Abhishek Varman’s next film was very close to mom’s heart ...Dad, Khushi and I are thankful to Madhuriji for now being a part of this beautiful film..."
