Priya Prakash Varrier or the 'wink girl' as we recall her has set social media buzzing again. Her debut Bollywood movie "Sridevi Bungalow" trailer has upset Twitter and even faced the wrath of Boney Kapoor.
"Sridevi Bungalow" trailer was launched on youtube on January 13 and has caught the attention of Indians as it hints that it is based on Sridevi's life. The trailer captures the story of an actress named Sridevi's life. It further shows the actress roaming alone on the streets looking depressed and the trailer ends with a shot of the actress lying in the bathtub with her legs in the air.
India was taken aback with the sudden demise of the legendary actress Sridevi last year in Dubai. The reason for her unfateful passing away was accidental drowning in the bathtub. Hence the trailer has received widespread disapproval due to an uncanny resemblance to name, profession, bathtub and drowning scene.
Watch the trailer here:
The filmmaker has slapped a legal notice for movie having a direct indication to the late actress Sridevi by her husband Boney Kapoor.
Commenting on this director Prasanth Mambully told a media portal, "We received a legal notice from Mr Boney Kapoor last week. And we will face it. My film is a suspense thriller. I told him that Sridevi is a common name. My film's character also happens to be an actress. We will face it."
Fans of Sridevi are not impressed with this mockery of the actress and have left resentful comments on the trailer on Youtube
They have also taken up on social media to express their disappointment :
Such a shameful and disgusting act it is by the makers of #SrideviBungalow to depict the legendary actress in such a disgraceful manner. Utter nonsense and rubbish it is. I want the Indian Film Fraternity to take strong action on it. The departed soul deserves respect. ???
The teaser of sleazefest masquerading as a movie #SrideviBungalow is a dirty & ugly attempt to tarnish the image of an Indian icon. The movie has to be banned! Nobody should be allowed to get away with such a cheap act for fame & mileage. #Sridevi
In this disgusting film u tried to show #Sridevi as a lonely person and pathetic but the fact that Sri hated to be alone and her family was always beside her and in another shot u tried to show her smoked cigar and this was the most thing she hated. Shame on u? #SrideviBungalowpic.twitter.com/nMFYFrM1JT
I cannot believe this.... Not even a full year since she passed away and such movies are being made! I hope it gets banned! At least you could of thought of her two daughters & husband before making such a film! Disgraceful #SrideviBungalow
I’m shocked and deeply saddened by the insensitivity of filmmaker’s who made a film on Sridevi’s tragic death, #SrideviBungalow shd never get released,how can the actors and makers even think of cashing on Sridevi’s tragic death ..Boneyji r u listening it’s insane.
