For the uninitiated, Boney Kapoor is planning to make a biopic on the life of Sridevi. Speaking about the same, a source shared with Deccan Chronicle, “He’s definitely planning to tell Sridevi’s story in a movie before anyone else does. Believe me, there are several filmmakers planning to make films on her. Before they get down to it, Boney wants to copyright her life story so that only he will be able to make his wife’s bio-pic the way he wants to.” The source further added, “Several journalists and authors have approached Boney and he may very soon select someone to write on Sridevi. There are many plans to further the Sri legend in 2019.”
It is going to be one whole year when the world would have mourned for the loss of a legend. We pray for the family’s strength!
