The 2017 crime thriller Mom marked the final film of Sridevi in the entertainment world, followed by her sudden demise. The film was sensational and went on to win the National Film Award for Sridevi for her lead role, and for A.R. Rahman for his music and background score.
Directed by Ravi Udyawar, it featured actors like Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Akshaye Khanna. The heartfelt theme of a mother taking revenge on her stepdaughter’s rapists struck a chord with audiences across all ages and genders.

Now, Boney Kapoor is reportedly planning to revive the legacy of his wife and pass it on to their daughter. Mom 2 is said to be in the pipeline, starring Khushi Kapoor in the lead role, and the film is expected to follow a similar theme.
However, after this report surfaced, it was met with considerable backlash from netizens. Many pointed out that someone with a flop career of three films—The Archies, Loveyapa, and Nadaaniyan—cannot carry forward the legacy of Sridevi.
