Contrary to speculations and rumours, Bollywood actor Sanjay Kapoor’s daughter Shanaya Kapoor’s debut film Bedhadak is not shelved. The film was announced a few months back with a lot of excitement but no one heard anything about it after that. The latest on the film is that the film will go on floors in first half of 2023. 

Producer Karan Johar announced the film’s shoot on his Instagram page and wrote, “Verified @shanayakapoor02 @gurfatehpirzada @itslakshya all set to storm the screens next year! Shooting commences first half of next year !!!! #BEDHADAK!!!!”

Bedhadak will see the debuts of three actors Shanaya, Gurfateh Pirzada and Lakshya. The trio are currently reading the script and attending workshops for the same. 

Talking about his daughter’s Bollywood debut The Fame Game actor Sanjay Kapoor had earlier said, “The desire to be an actor is something that has to come from within. We cannot just counsel or guide someone into becoming an actor! If someone wants to be an actor, we shouldn't stop that person from chasing their dream. I think this is a wonderful industry to work in and it was Shanaya's decision to be an actor. Maheep and I have always encouraged her. She has been training for the last 8-9 years. People will only catch a glimpse of her on the screen now but she has been at it, preparing hard from the age of 12. She was always attending her dance classes, diction training and what not. Even during the COVID lockdown, when everyone was sitting at home, she was on her laptop all the time doing rehearsals etc. She is very focused and it was always her decision to be an actor. I never told her to be an actor. But when she said she wants to be one, I supported her.”
