Thanks to Movies n Memories for this mega throwback picture of Sridevi and Meenakshi Seshadri on the sets of the much-delayed Hindi film Joshilaay.
The film launched in 1983, the audio was released in 1985, the film finally saw the light of day in 1989! The making of the film could be seen as a comedy of errors [but for the losses incurred by the poor producer!] and a shining example of the rampant disorganisation of Bollywood in that fateful era.
There is a huge archive of features and articles on the film's production hassles - one day we'll sit and scan each page for posterity! While many bemoan the corporatisation of Indian cinema, at least it brought discipline, fiscal responsibility, legal ramifications, contracts, schedules and budgeting into the foray!
- More images of Meenakshi Sheshadiri with Sridevi over the years here.

- Rare pics of Meenakshi Sheshadiri with Sridevi at the Nagina success party here in the archive.
