Viewers on social platforms have been quick to cheer her on, with comments like, “Best of luck Aneeto...” and “Best wishes to her and the team.” Another fan wrote, “Maddock better be making this one good. All the best to Aneet and team,” reflecting the anticipation surrounding the project.Aneet was officially announced as the lead of ‘Shakti Shalini’ in 2025, positioning her as a crucial part of the expanding Maddock Horror Comedy Universe. Her character was first teased in a post-credits scene of ‘Thamma’, released on October 21, 2025, where she was intriguingly described as “the creator, the destroyer, and the mother of all.”Slated to arrive in theatres on December 24, 2026, ‘Shakti Shalini’ is already building strong pre-release buzz.
