Pakistani actors Adnan Siddiqui and Sajal Ali are all set to make inroads into Bollywood alongside veteran Indian actor Sridevi in the upcoming movie Mom, reported IANS on Tuesday. Adnan will play the role of Sridevi’s husband and Ali’s father in the fim.

The news of Ali’s role in the movie broke a few weeks ago. However, only recently, a source confirmed Adnan’s participation in the movie as well. Sridevi, who is also the co-producer for the project alongside husband Boney Kapoor, will be seen essaying the lead role in the women-centric film.

Actor Akshaye Khanna will make a comeback with the movie while actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui will have a special appearance. The Mom team is currently shooting in Georgia.


The Ravi Udyawar directorial features Sridevi as a stepmother who is in conflict with her 18-year-old daughter. Reports suggest that Ali will be essaying the role of her daughter.

Adnan also played a small role alongside actor and film-maker Angelina Jolie and actor Irrfan Khan in the 2007 film A Mighty Heart.
