Sridevi stuns Mappillai producers
Yesteryear heart-throb and eternal beauty Sridevi,�who acted in many language films,�made headlines when she walked the ramp at the HDIL India Couture Week 2009 in Mumbai, making a public appearance after so many years! The invitees were thrilled to see that Sridevi�has not lost any of her old charm and oomph.
One of the very few actresses who have ruled across different Indian languages, Sridevi is now believed to be making a comeback to films with a Tamil film titled Mappillai, a remake of Tamil superstar Rajinikanth’s yesteryear blockbuster with the same title.
Sources say the actress shocked the makers of Mappillai recently when she demanded�Rs. 80 lakhs as her remuneration AFTER income�tax deductions. If this happens, Sridevi will be�appear as hero Dhanush’s mother-in-law in this film directed by Sooraj, who earlier made Dhanush’s Padikadhavan.
Latest reports say that Mappillai will have the same team of technicians as Padikadhavan. Mani Sharma scores music; Venkatesh cranks the camera; Shiyaji Shinde is the villain; Popular Telugu-Kannada hottie Hansika Motwani will be the heroine. Mappillai is slated for release in summer 2010.
