A few days back, Karan Johar on the reality show ‘India’s Next Superstar’ had revealed that Sridevi was supposed to star in his production venture for which they were going to start shooting in April. However, as Sridevi is no more with us, we all were expecting another senior actress to be roped in for the film.
