It is being said that Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit Nene reportedly got uneasy when they were offered the role of the Punjabi mother to screen siblings, Priyanka Chopra and Ranveer Singh, in Zoya Akhtar's Dil Dhadakne Do (DDD). However seems like, Shefali Shah, who is younger than Mads and Sri, has taken up this challenge to play the role.
Shefali has previously played mother to Akshay Kumar, who is in fact older than her, in her filmmaker husband Vipul Shah's film 'Waqt - The Race Against Time'.
Meanwhile, an insider reveals that Shefali will not be doing the mother's role in DDD, and rather she will be seen doing something different.
On the other hand, though Shefali confirmed the news to a leading lady about her presence in the film, but refused to divulge any details on her role. She said, "Yes! I'm doing Zoya's film. But all I can say is, it's an important role and I'm excited about doing the film."
Dil Dhadakne Do also stars Farhan Akhtar and Anushka Sharma in lead.
