After the massive buzz surrounding The Kerala Story, the franchise is back with its much-anticipated sequel, The Kerala Story 2 – Goes Beyond. The film is set to release in Hindi, Telugu, and Kannada on February 27, 2026.
The 2023 political drama featured Adah Sharma, Siddhi Idnani, Yogita Bihani, and Sonia Balani in pivotal roles. This spiritual sequel, however, introduces a fresh cast. Popular Hindi television faces Ulka Gupta, Aditi Bhatia, and Aishwarya Ojha headline the film. While Ulka and Aishwarya have previously appeared in films, this marks Aditi’s first outing as a leading lady in cinema, after beginning her career as a child actor.
Aditi Bhatia
Born on October 29, 1999, in Mumbai, Aditi Bhatia stepped into the entertainment industry at a very young age. While balancing her education, she appeared as a child artist in several films including Vivah, Shootout at Lokhandwala, The Train, Chance Pe Dance, and Sargoshiyan.

Now 27, Aditi completed her schooling at Thakur Public School in Kandivali and later graduated from Mumbai University. She often shares moments with her mother, Bina Bhatia, on social media.
In The Kerala Story 2, Aditi essays the role of Divya, a Hindu woman who falls in love with a Muslim man. The storyline intensifies as her parents approach the police station to file a POCSO complaint, alleging forced religious conversion of their 16-year-old daughter. Divya, however, stands firm in defending her partner.
According to reports, Aditi’s estimated net worth is between ₹20–25 crore.
