Well-known producer-director Ashwini Dutt has made this adventure by contacting Sridevi. Apparently, he has tried to woo the queen of Bollywood and Southern films of the 70s and 80s to do a special role in his upcoming film with NTR. He has rightly asked her to be Ileana’s mother in the film.
The film is being titled Shakthi.However, no one is sure whether Sridevi will accept Dutt’s offer so easily. Sri has been elusive for quite some time and is stated to have become pricey. A Tamil producer recently got the shock of his life when Sri charged Rs 80 lakh to do a film. Will Dutt be able to meet Sridevi’s demands for taking a ‘motherly’ role?It will certainly be feather on Ashwini Dutt’s cap if he manages to rope in Sri to do a role in his Shakti.
