Sridevi has started shooting for her new film called Mom, in Delhi. It is being directed by debutant Ravi Udywar, and features Sridevi as a stepmom in conflict with her 18-year old daughter.

The daughter will be played by a newcomer.

Akshaye Khanna will make a comeback with this film. The actor has not appeared in any film since the political satire Gali Gali Chor Hai bombed in 2012.

"Sridevi’s husband Boney Kapoor, who produces Mom, personally requested Akshaye to make a comeback. He has a terrific role in Mom," says a source.

The film also stars Nawazuddin Siddique.

The shoot started on March 6.
