SaralnamaFans are upset in Mumbai as Janhvi Kapoor replaces Shraddha Kapoor in the remake of Sridevi's 1989 film Chaalbaaz. The news broke on 25 Aug 2023. The remake was announced in 2021 with Shraddha as the lead. Now, Janhvi is likely to take the role. Many fans question this choice, as Janhvi's recent films have not done well. Some suggest Sanya Malhotra would be a better fit. Director Pankaj Parashar said earlier that the script for Shraddha didn't work out. He plans to make a new version, not a direct remake. The original Chaalbaaz starred Sridevi as twin sisters. Janhvi's new film with Sidharth Malhotra releases on 2 Oct 2023. (Updated 2 Sep 2025, 12:21 IST; source: link)
