Boney Kapoor Disgusted By Sridevi Bungalow, Intends To Seek A Restraining Order For Using His Wife’s Name In The Title
Late Sridevi’s husband Boney Kapoor is disgusted by all those associated with the film Sridevi Bungalow and intends to seek a restraining order for using Sridevi’s name in the title
Priya Prakash Varrier, who became a sensation on the Internet for her wink and eyebrow game, is all set to make her Bollywood debut with the film Sridevi Bungalow. However, even before the release of the movie, it has been embroiled in a number of controversies. The trailer of the movie was released in Januray this year and the 1 minute 49 seconds trailer depicts Priya as an actress leading a tragic and lonely life. The trailer comes to a close with the death of the actress in a bathtub- a very glaring reminder of Sridevi’s accidental death that happened due to drowning last year.
In reaction to the trailer, Boney Kapoor had sent a legal notice initially to the makers of the film objecting to the title as well as the scene which showed the death of a character named Sridevi, much the same way the eighties actress Sridevi dies in February 2018. Even now, Boney Kapoor is disgusted by all those who chose to be associated with the film and intends to seek a restraining order for using Sridevi’s name in the title. A source revealed to Deccan Chronicle, “He [Kapoor] is disgusted by all those who have chosen to be associated with this lurid project. When he heard the film’s title and saw the first look, Boney had sent a legal notice to the producer. But so far they’ve ignored the notice. Boney intends to take even more strict legal action, asking for a restraining order against using Sridevi’s name in the title. They can make what they like — it’s a free world. But they can’t use that name.”
Last month, Priya Prakash Varrier had reacted to controversies surrounding Prasanth Mambully’s Sridevi Bungalow and said to IANS, "It is actually the director's and the producer's concern because I am just portraying a character they gave me. Intentionally it was not on our agenda to hurt anyone's personal feelings." Priya added that she is a big fan of Sridevi. "I don't think we should let any negativity affect us because I am just starting my career in films. I am also a very big fan of Sridevi madam and though there was no intention to hurt anybody, we all know that controversies keep happening."
