 Sridevi's Filmfare portraits in 1996

 Very few outtakes of this shoot ever released - always looking for more. 

The Sridevi centrefold: Robe, glasses, library

 

Have an inkling this was published in G magazine - the one issue I don't have! But would love to grab - a centrefold with Sridevi, shot by the late great Gautam da.

Young Sridevi with Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth in Tamil Cinema

Teenaged Sridevi spent a lot of time on set with Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth - creating some of the most memorable moments of Tamil cinema. She was so painfully young, and so precociously gifted. She stood on her own, never getting eclipsed by her co-stars.

Wonder if they knew back then, while slogging away those endless hours, they were making Tamil cinema history... Classics of the genre. They would create the high watermark for all others to follow... 

PS: Can you name which film these screengrabs are from? Comment below. 

 

Sridevi, Shiv Hari and Yash Chopra: TBT To Sept 1988

In earlier post, we had stated the above image of Sridevi, music directors Shiv-Hari with film producer Yash Chopra was from the Mumbai premiere of Chandni in Sept 1989. In fact, we were off by a year! We stand corrected, its from the audio release of Chandni back in Sept 1988, published in Cine Blitz with the ultimate power couple on the cover; Jaya and Amitabh Bachchan.

Sridevi on the sets of Chaalbaaz (1989): Miss Chaalbaaz

Just found out today, that Chaalbaaz was originally going to be called Miss Chaalbaaz, as this early 1988 interview with Sridevi in Star & Style indicates! 

It would have been yet another title role for the definitive leading lady of Indian cinema.
