Sridevi's elder daughter Janhvi Kapoor is all set to make her Bollywood debut in 'Dhadak' in July this year. Unfortunately, the actress will not be around to witness that but reports suggest Janhvi's debut film will have a special mention for her mother. It is also being said, that Sridevi will also be given special thanks in the credits of the film. 

RIP Sridevi.
