Sridevi in Jaanbaaz (1986)

Though she's barely there in the film Jaanbaaz (an extended cameo with a scene and a song), thanks to the sensuous picturisation of Sridevi in the chart-buster Har kisiko Nahin milta, she strut away with all the credit for the film's success.  

Legend has it, Feroz Khan wanted Sridevi to wear western outfits in the film. Sridevi however, convinced Khan to let her wear Indian outfits. Sridevi felt Dimple and Rekha were already wearing glamorous western outfits so she should do something different. Feroz agreed and told her "All I need is your face. Just give me oozing sex appeal with your expressions".

Sridevi delivered. And how. 

Though Feroz Khan worked with every single top actress in the history of Bollywood, for years after he said, Sridevi was the most gorgeous actress he worked with. Ever. 

Legend also has it that Boney Kapoor threw down the gauntlet to Shekhar Kapur, when it came to picturising a sensuous song Kate Nahin Kat the. "

In fact the song, I love you was not in the original script of Mr.India. It was added later. One day Boney Kapoor came and told me that he had seen Jaanbaaz and was stunned by the sensuality Sridevi exuded in a song sequence. "She can't look more sensual," he said. 

I went and saw the film and accepted the challenge to present her more sensually The result was I love you. She looked so sensual, fully clothed."

Aasman Se Gira (1992): Sridevi memorable guest appearance in a children's film

Sridevi had a special appearance in the film Aasman Se Gira [Fell from the Sky]. 

To be honest, we weren't huge fans of the movie - but then, perhaps we weren't the target audience. An average children's film that did no big shakes at the box-office, director Panjak Parasher tried to cash in on the tremendous appeal Sridevi had with kids in the wake of Mr.India and Chaalbaaz's critical and commercial success. Sridevi's in it for barely a few minutes, while Kalpana Iyer, Anupam Kher and Raghuvir Yadav are the principle cast while young Master Abhishek had the pivotal role. 

Apart from Sridevi, Anil Kapoor, Sheeba and Amjad Khan made cameos too. Produced by NFDC, the movie was released straight to video (as far as we can remember) and ran in a few film festivals. 

This montage of Sridevi captures her glittering presence in the film. 

Sridevi, "I did a guest role in the children's film, Aasman se Gira, because it was fun and not because it was commercial."

Sridevi's extended cameo in Main Tera Dushman (1989)

Sridevi essentially had an extended cameo in the film - but they publicised the heck out of her presence in the movie! After all, she owned the title words from her memorable song and dance routine in Nagina - the association was such a given.

Released on 3 February, 1989.
