Now, Supriya has stepped in for the role of Abhishek Bachchan’s onscreen mother.

However, Supriya said that while “it’s an interesting role and talks are on, we have not signed the papers yet”.

Smriti had reportedly shot for 30 to 40 per cent of the film. It will be reshot with Supriya.

The makers were earlier also in talks with Tanvi Azmi and Shefali Shah for the role, but things didn’t materialise.

Now that all’s well, the shoot of ‘All Is Well’, which also stars Asin and Rishi Kapoor, will resume January 15.
