Chandni, a romantic film, directed by Yash Chopra, stars Sridevi in the title role of Chandni Mathur, a young effervescent woman torn between two suitors played by Rishi Kapoor and Vinod Khanna. The film also stars Waheeda Rehman, Anupam Kher, Sushma Seth, Mita Vashisht, and Manohar Singh.
After a series of failed action films, Yash Chopra decided to make a romantic musical, a film with all the hallmarks of what has come to be known as the “Yash Chopra style” – heroine-oriented, romantic and emotional with melodic music used in songs picturized in foreign locations.
The film follows the story of Chandni and her fiancé, Rohit, who is paralysed in an accident. She is forced to relocate to Mumbai, where her boss, Lalit, falls for her. However, she faces a dilemma when Rohit returns and woos her too.
On the acting front, Shilpa was last seen in “Sukhee”, a humorous slice-of-life tale. It told the story of Sukhee, who relives her teenage years while experiencing a variety of things over the course of just seven days, emerging reignited, reborn, and making the hardest shift of her life.
She will next be seen in KD: The Devil, a Kannada action drama film directed by Prem. The film stars Dhruva Sarja in the titular role, alongside Sanjay Dutt, Shilpa Shetty, V. Ravichandran, Ramesh Aravind, Reeshma Nanaiah and Nora Fatehi.
