Digital fiasco of the 90s: Divya Bharti and Sridevi

One of several daft ideas Bollywood had (and my what a list that is), bad digital CGI, (non-) special effects of superimposing Divya Bhart's face on Sridevi - to complete the films Divya was working on in the early 90s. 

Just a bad, bad, bad idea... 

Yes, it was supremely tragic when Divya Bharti died and as she was working on several films at a time, many producers were bound to lose a lotttttttttt of money as half-a-dozen incomplete films lay in the cans. For a quick fix, this horrific idea was entertained - and a sample even published in leading film rags of the time back in 1993!

Thankfully good sense prevailed and they left the poor girl(s) alone. 

 We have a large gallery of images of Sridevi and Divya Bharti here. Though the two actresses met in person and Dviya confessed to Sridevi that she was a huge fan, sadly, there is no image of them together (at a time before perennial phone-cams!).
