Sridevi was a lead actress in only two Kannada films, Priya and Hennu Samsarada Kannu. In the others, she was a child artist. People assume Sridevi did more Kannada films but she didn't -they were usually dubbed Tamil films.
I have Kannadiga friends who mentioned that of course everyone knew of Sridevi and liked her fair enough; but to say she was a top Kannada actress would be an exaggeration. In the pantheon of top Kannada actresses, who influenced the industry greatly, there are other names that top the list. But in the wake of Sridevi's tragic and untimely passing, certain, ill-informed media sources just used a broad brush to say she was a top actress all across the South--including this region when the only films she did were;
1 1974 Bhakta Kumbara
2 1974 Hennu Samsarada Kannu
3 1975 Baala Bhaaratha
4 1975 Yashodha Krishna
5 1978 Priya
Hello Mam just an ordinary movie goer, I must say and say it with some sound that i might have watches some 10-15 movies of yours however your part in English Vinglish is one of the MOST fascinating and definite NATIONAL AWARD Winner role. I am no judge but if I was one You are my choice. The maturity of the role and the amount of UNLEARNING u might have done to get into the skin of this character worth a Billion praise. Please conti.. doing such good movies only.
