TBT: Newsbyte from May 1981: Sridevi

Excerpt from May 1981;

"....A serious threat to Sri Devi's position in the south is being posed by an eloquent-eyed beauty called Madhavi. A Balachander find she is the heroine in Kamalhasan's Raja Parvai and KB's Thillu Mullu. She also co-stars Rajnikant tin Hem Nag's magnum opus and plays Zeenat Aman's role in the Telugu and Tamil versions of Insaf Ka Tarazu...."

Sridevi was the high benchmark when it came to stardom as any and every actress was compared to her - something she (and her family) noted with some chagrin. As Sridevi famously said, she was compared to actresses every year in the 34 years she worked in the film industry, but "the names keep changing."
