Sridevi will not make a comeback

There has been buzz that actress Sridevi, who was last seen on television on the show Malini Iyer, would be making a comeback in Bollywood and reports said that she had taken up a role offered to her by Hema Malini.

But husband Boney Kapoor has denied these reports. “I don’t think she wants to do films anymore,” he said, “I don’t know anything about these stories of her comeback. It’s just a rumour,” he adds.

Boney dismissed the rumours of Hema offering Sridevi a role.

“Hemaji has not offered her anything, and I should know — she’s my wife,” he said.

When asked if Sridevi was closed to doing roles, even if good work came her way, he said, “Well, she is an actress. If an interesting role comes up she may do it, I suppose.” So far, Boney hasn’t cast her in his own movies. His last film No Entry, starring Salman Khan and Bipasha Basu, was a hit and it did not star Sridevi. Neither does his finished but still-to-be released Salman-starrer Wanted.

The actress has not done any films after marrying Boney, but took to the small screen in a big way. Her show Malini Iyer was a big hit. Sridevi ruled the silver screen in the 80s with films like Chandni, Lamhe and Chaalbaaz.

Her last film was Judai in 1996.
