Boney makes Sridevi to Refuse work with Amitabh Bachchan

Cine-goers have been denied the pleasure of watching the yesteryear
superstars Amitabh Bachchan and Sridevi onscreen, yet again, in a Yash
Raj Film. News has it that the gorgeous actress Sridevi has refused
the role under the pressure of her husband Boney Kapoor.

Yash Chopra had planned a film keeping in mind Sridevi and Amitabh
Bachchan in lead roles, to revive the glory of old days. The Big B was
reportedly very enthusiastic about the venture and had readily agreed
to it. "Amar Singh tried to convince Boney to let Sridevi act in
Yash's film. Boney still did not relent," a source revealed.

Reports suggest that the actress refused the film because her husband
Boney Kapoor wanted her to star in a home production rather than
venture outside. However, Boney has rubbished the reports. "I did not
tell Yashji that I will be making Sridevi's comeback film," he said.
He stated that Yash Chopra had indeed a planned a film keeping Sridevi
and Big B in mind but the film did not happen due to some other
reason.

No other actress has been approached because no one apart from Sridevi
would have not suited the role. Yash Chopra has now put the project on
the backburner when things did not work out with Sridevi.

Amitabh and Sridevi had earlier created onscreen magic in Inquilab,
Aakhri Raasta, and Khuda Gawah. Sridevi's last film Judaai (1997) left
the audience wanting for more. However, Boney Kapoor has not ruled out
the return of Sridevi and that comes as a bit of relief.
