A newly surfaced clip from the sets of Shakti Shalini has sent social media into a tizzy. The video, which appears to show Aneet Padda in a raw, no-holds-barred action sequence, has been doing the rounds on X, leaving fans absolutely shook.
In the footage, a girl — presumably Aneet — is seen dragging a man across the ground and tying his leg to a rope attached to a horse. It’s intense, gritty, and nothing like what we’ve seen from the actress before. While there’s still no official confirmation whether this is actually from the film, that hasn’t stopped the internet from going berserk.
Fans Go Wild Over Aneet’s Raw Action Sequence
The clip was first posted by an X handle @BollyGup on May 31, calling it “Aneet Padda’s Intense Scene from Shakti Shalini.” Within hours, the reactions poured in. One fan wrote, “Now just imagine AIGIRI NANDINI or DURGA STUTI playing in the background… ANEET PADDA…YOU ARE GOING TO BE INSANE IN THIS.”
Another user cheered, “Aneet my girl fadhdena tum. I know you will kill it. God bless you bbg. Love you.”
Some fans are a bit more cautious, hoping the final film doesn’t rely too heavily on VFX. “I want to see a masterpiece, not a CGI overload,” one user commented. But overall, the vibe is pure excitement.
Shakti Shalini: The Maddock Universe Connection
Shakti Shalini hails from Maddock Films’ wildly popular Horror Comedy Universe. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, the movie was first teased last Diwali alongside another project called Thamma. The initial snippet described the lead character as ‘The Protector,’ ‘The Destroyer,’ and ‘The Mother Of All.’
Filming has already wrapped. Aneet leads a cast that includes Nana Patekar, Vineet Kumar Singh, and Vishal Jethwa. Given its connection to the Maddock universe, fans are already speculating about surprise cameos from other familiar faces.
The current release plan is Christmas 2026 — which means going head-to-head with Shah Rukh Khan’s King on the same weekend. There’s chatter about the film possibly shifting to 2027 to avoid that clash, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
What’s Next for Aneet Padda?
Aneet was last seen in Saiyaara, and earlier this year, a behind-the-scenes video of her shooting for Shakti Shalini in Gwalior — dressed as a schoolgirl — also went viral. That clip gave fans a glimpse of her dedication to the role.
Whether the latest leaked footage is legit or not, one thing is clear: the hype around Shakti Shalini is real. Fans are already calling Aneet’s performance “amazing,” and the film looks poised to make a serious splash when it finally hits the big screen.
Until then, the internet will keep replaying that horse-drag scene and counting down the days.
