On Wednesday, Westland Books announced that they are publishing the official biography of the superstar Sridevi. Debutant author Dhiraj Kumar is writing the book and it is aiming a publishing date this year only. According to the publishers, the book will provide a 360-degree portrait of Sridevi. It will also make the readers rediscover the icon in a completely new way.
Boney Kapoor confirms the biography’s launch
Confirming the development, Sridevi’s husband Boney Kapoor said, “Sridevi was a force of nature. She was the happiest when she shared her art on screen with her fans but she was also a fiercely private person. Dhiraj Kumar is someone she considered family. He is a researcher, writer and columnist. We are happy that he is writing a book that befits her extraordinary life.”
An elated Dhiraj also shares his thoughts on getting this honour. He said, “I am delighted that the venerable Westland Books will be publishing my debut book. My literary agent, Anish Chandy made this happen. I am thankful for the permission and support of Boney Kapoor and his family, Latha and Sanjay Ramaswamy, Suryakala, Maheshwari and Karthik, Reena and Sandeep Marwah.”
