TBT: Rare Pic: Boney Kapoor posts rarely seen photo of Sridevi with Lata Mangeshkar on the sets of Pukar (2000)


Produced by Boney Kapoor, the award-winning film Pukar was released on Feb 4, 2000. On its 22nd anniversary, on his official Instagram handle, Boney Kapoor posted this rarely seen image of himself, Sridevi and Lata Mangeshkar on the sets of the film. 

His caption, ""Will remain eternally grateful to Lataji for honouring us by agreeing to enact her song for our film, Pukar, a rare gesture... I will cherish forever." 

Sridevi spoke to Lataji before the shoot and the two discussed what she'd wear on screen. Though Sridevi suggested a colourful sari, Lataji preferred wearing a traditional white sari with a red border. Sridevi relented saying, "Whatever you want Didi."

Bless. 

Scroll the through the archive here to see our collection of pics of Sridevi with Lata Mangeshkar over the years. Their association goes all the way back to 1983 when Lataji sang Sridevi's first chart-topper, Nainon main Sapna in Himmatwala to Aaj Radha ko Shaam in Chand Ka Tukda.
