The buzz has been building since April when the announcement was first made - Neetu Kapoor and Kapil Sharma would star in Dadi Ki Shaadi, marking Riddhima Kapoor Sahni's Bollywood debut. Now, director Ashish R Mohan tells mid-day that the family entertainer is set to wrap up soon, and he hopes to release it on Mother's Day (May 10, 2026) or sometime in April.

After a 40-day schedule in Shimla, Mohan shares that although most of the shoot is complete, some patchwork scenes, including an end-credit song, remain to be filmed in January. "I wanted to complete the film after I locked my release date. We had shot a song choreographed by Ganesh [Acharya] master in Shimla earlier this year, but a one-day shoot remained as there was talk of a [conflict between] India and Pakistan," he recollects. On May 7, India launched strikes on Pakistan in an operation code-named Operation Sindoor. For safety, Mohan returned to Mumbai with the cast and crew.

He shares that the finale number features "700 children from the schools in Shimla and outside and has the entire cast in it. I will invite the entire cast to come down [to] shoot the song and scenes - in Golden Tobacco Factory or Film City. [We also have] one-day scene to shoot with Riddhima," adds the filmmaker.

Currently in post-production, Dadi Ki Shaadi is a comedy revolving around a family who gets involved in a family matriarch's marriage. Earlier, the film - also starring South superstar Sarath Kumar, Nikhat Hegde, Tejaswini Kolhapure, and Sadia Khateeb - was planned for a December release. The makers will now announce the release date on December 20.
