Sridevi and Bhanupriya

The southern belle who hit Bollwood soon after Sridevi. The resemblance was striking... but Bhanupriya didn't make as much of a mark in Bollywood like Sridevi did. The comparisons were inevitable - she did films with Jeetendra, wore chiffon saris and amrapali outfits in song and dance routines that were very similar to past Sridevi songs (Bollywood always tried to recreate successful routines for formulaic, tried-and-tested scenarios). But luck didn't favour one like it did the other.

Instead, Bhanupriya did many iconic Tamil films down south and established herself as one of the greats.
