Boney Kapoor posts rare pic of Sridevi from the archives

Earlier this week, film producer Boney Kapoor posted a rarely seen picture of Indian actress Sridevi from the early 1980s in Bollywood. A rare find, it was an outtake from a shoot Sridevi did for Filmfare magazine back in the summer of 1985. Obviously, we the entire series and interview up in the archive here. 

Sridevi was around 22, she had already met Boney Kapoor by then, as he wanted to cast the southern sensation for a film. The earliest record we have of the two meeting is for the launch of the (shelved) film Govinda back in 1984, with Anil Kapoor in the lead and Sridevi as his village belle heroine. The film was never made but while the Kapoors had the dates of superstar Sridevi, they ended up making Mr.India - which later released in the summer of 1987!
