Neetu Kapoor and Kapil Sharma's 'Dadi Ki Shaadi' eyes Mother's Day 2026 release; marks Riddhima Kapoor Sahni's debut - Reports

The buzz around 'Dadi Ki Shaadi' has been significant ever since the film was announced in April earlier this year. Bringing together Neetu Kapoor and Kapil Sharma in a warm, family-driven narrative, the film also marks the Bollywood debut of Riddhima Kapoor Sahni. First-time director Ashish R Mohan recently shared that the shoot is close to completion, with the team planning for a Mother’s Day (May 10, 2026) or an April 2026 release.

Shimla shoot wraps, patchwork scheduled for January

After an intensive 40-day schedule in Shimla, Mohan confirmed that only a few patchwork scenes remain, including the grand end-credit song, as reported by Midday. These segments will be filmed in January. He recalled an earlier interruption, saying, “We had shot a song choreographed by Ganesh Acharya in Shimla, but a one-day shoot was left because there were discussions about a possible conflict between India and Pakistan.” The concerns soon became real when India launched strikes on Pakistan on May 7 under Operation Sindoor. For safety, the cast and crew were flown back to Mumbai immediately.

A massive finale song with 700 schoolchildren

One of the most exciting parts of the film is its finale sequence. Mohan revealed that the end-credit song will feature 700 children from various schools in and around Shimla, alongside the full ensemble cast. “I will invite the entire cast for the final shoot, which may take place at the Golden Tobacco Factory or Film City. We also have a one-day scene pending with Riddhima,” he added.

A family comedy about a matriarch’s marriage

Currently in post-production, 'Dadi Ki Shaadi' revolves around a lively family navigating the chaos and joy surrounding their matriarch’s decision to remarry. The film promises a mix of humour, warmth, and emotional moments. Initially slated for a December release, the film features an impressive supporting cast, including South superstar Sarath Kumar, Nikhat Hegde, Tejaswini Kolhapure, and Sadia Khateeb. The final release date will now be officially announced on December 20.
