Sridevi
The 1980s smashing hit "Himmatwala" might have turned Sridevi into an overnight star in Bollywood, but according to a new book, the actor considered the film a "bad luck" for her. Quoting an 1987 interview of the yesteryear actor, the book titled "Sridevi: Queen of Hearts", said that she was not entirely pleased that her first big hit in Hindi cinema was "Himmatwala" (1983).
"In Tamil films, they love to see me act naturally. But in Hindi films they want a lot of glamour, richness and masala. My bad luck was that my first big hit in Hindi films turned out to be a commercial one ('Himmatwala'). "When I did a character role in 'Sadma', the picture flopped. So people started casting me only for glamour roles. But one day I'm going to prove to everyone that I can act also," said the actor, as quoted in the book.
