Ok, I have heard too many rumors. Are there any definate plans for this lady

I have heard *many* rumours, which seem to have one thing in common: apparently
she *will* be returning
to our screens in the near future, and her co-star will be none other than Anil
Kapoor.
I am just wondering whether indian audiences will accept this real-life
"bhabhi-devar" combo as
lovers in reel-life.

True, the Anil-Sri pairing have had hits together in the past (plus they make a
great on-screen pair),
but I wonder if Sri's marriage will affect the audience's perception of her
relationship with her hero....

Oh, BTW, another unfounded rumour was that Boney (the producer of the film,
natch) was looking
for a second hero to fill in the triangle..apparently Sunny Deol's name was
bandied about, but I have no idea
whether this is remotely true...

Yes, I have heard the same thing. I think she will be coming in a movie that
stars Anil opposite him. When will the production of this movie begin? Do you
know any other details.

<<I am just wondering whether indian audiences will accept this real-life

I don't know about that, but I hope that will not affect their professional
careers. After all, work is work.

Again, I certainly hope it will not affect her. But I have heard that this
movie will be quite different. Sridevi will not do jhatak dance numbers
anymore. From what I have heard, I think it will be an offbeat subject
something similar (but not identical of course) to Lamhe, Laadla, Judaai. You
get the picture, right? Something really good !

I loved the Anil-Sri-Sunny pair in Ram Avtar. They did a wonderful job
together. So, if this is true, it might be successful. I am anxiously waiting
for her upcoming movies. All of them will be really good. Best of luck to
Sridevi !

I do not think that they are that literate in using the computers.
any way, besides screwing around everyone they may do not have
the time to read newsgroups. ;)

Now do you understand why I mocked Muqudar when he claimed that Juhi is a
better actress than Kajol and Madhuri.

Well, this is nothing new. Shashi Kapoor used to pair up a lot with Babita who
is his nephew's(well, brother's son's actually) wife (or ex since they no longer
live together or so i heard).Even Rishi was to pair up with Karisma but i guess
the movie was shelved. I am sure there are other instances of this sort of
inside-the-family pairing too.

I think Sridevi stopped doing "Jhatak" numbers as you put it immediately after
the end of her hit pairing with Jumping Jeetu in those Mega-Masala Telugu
remakes way back in the mid 80s. After that, her numbers were more of good
dances than latka-jhatkas.(i guess the baton got passed over to Karisma not to
forget the ever jhatkofying Dixie :-) .

Hmmm...so Laadla was offbeat ??!! Muqudar, you amaze me ;-). If you call Laadla
and Judai offbeat, then what will you call a movie like "Salim Langde Pe Mat Ro"

??!


>I loved the Anil-Sri-Sunny pair in Ram Avtar.

The only thing worth remembering about Ram Avtar, IMO, was the song "Ungli Mein
Angootti Angootti mein nagina".Atleast, thats the only thing i remember about
that film.

>Sukhdeep

Can you please tell me the reason for keeping a nickie like Muqudar, atleast via
email ?? :)

Laadla and Judaai were different movies from what I have seen. I dont know
about you. Do you see a movie like Laadla or Judaai every other month like you
would see a love story? No, I don't think so. Maybe I should have used a word
other than "offbeat". I meant that these movies were different and successful.
I would like to see her do movies similar to this, not necessarily negative
roles, but something different from the regular love story that we get every
month.

Ravi(laughing),

How is the above statement even remotely related to what i said ? AFAIK, both
the three ;) Juhi, Kajol and Madhuri are commercial actresses whereas SLPMR is
totally on a different plane than Judai and Laadla.

You are totally an idiot, what does this have to do with Sridevi and her
returning to the big screen? You totally avoided Shridhar's question. You
need to just chill out ! No one was talking about Shakti Kapoor's role in the
movie Ram Avtar.

If i remember right, both Laadla and Judaai were remakes of Telugu Hits.
Laadla was GharanaMogudu in telugu featuring Chiranjeevi, which was one of his
big hits; (it was alson remade in Tamil) ; Judaai was a remake of
SVKrishnaReddy's movie (which incidentally was a indianised copy of
a popular English movie featuring Robertredford,; forgot the name).

This has nothing to do with the subject, but the funny thing is
in the telugu version of Laadla the hero dominated the plot, whereas
Sridevi seems to have stolen the limelight in the hindi remake (even though the
story and script was the same).

The Telugu version of Judaii was called "Subhalagnam". I think it starred
Jagapathi Babu, Roja and Amani.

If i am not mistaken, both Gharana Mogudu and Laadla were remakes of the Tamil
original "Mannan" starring Rajnikanth and Vijayashanti. To be noted that in both
Mannan and GM, the heroes were Superstars of their respective cinema whereas in
Hindi, it was quiet the reverse with Sridevi still in inertial mode of her
superstar years. That might be the reason for the hype surrounding her role,
otherwise i didn't see much difference in the roles of Rajni and Anil in the
respective films.

Well.. Mannan, Gharana Mogudu and Laadla are remakes of the Kannada original
"Anuraaga Aralithu" *ring Dr. Rajkumar, Madhavi and Geetha. The Movie itself was
based on the kannada novel by H. G. Radhadevi. Not to mention the movie was a
Big hit which led to it's Thamil remake with little modification.
