With Boney Kapoor unable to separate his wife from the actress, other producers may step in.

Sridevi

It’s been almost two years since the legendary actress Sridevi passed away, and talk of a biopic on this phenomenal actress has been on for a while.

It was presumed that her husband and producer Boney Kapoor would be the natural and immediate choice to make a film on his wife’s astounding life. But two years since the ghastly tragedy, Boney remains unequipped to create a distance between the wife and the actress.

“Even now, two years after the incident, Boney weeps like a baby every time Sridevi’s name comes up in any conversation. He can’t create that distance required to make a film on her,” says a close friend.

Sources say the possibility of the responsibility of making a biopic on the iconic Sridevi would now pass on to another producer. “Nothing has been finalised yet, but talks are on with a number of major studios. One of them even wants to make the biopic with Madhuri Dixit playing Sridevi,” says the source.
