Sri Devi dazzled Chennai in a blue saree earlier today if trend analyst and cinema buff Ramesh Bala’s tweets are to go by. The veteran actress and the ever-young diva was in Chennai for a press meet with her husband and producer Bony Kapoor. The actress is playing the role of Devaki, a loving, middle class mother in her next film, which is also coincidentally her 300th, Mom. The film also has a brilliant star cast with Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Akshaye Khanna, Abhimanyu Singh and Sushant Singh. The film is directed by Ravi Udyawar and being produced by Sri Devi’s husband and actor Anil Kapoor’s elder brother and famous producer Boney Kapoor.
It is to be noted that the actress marked her comeback with the critically acclaimed and financially successful English Vinglish over four years back. The movie directed by Gauri Shinde, who then went on to make Dear Zindagi, got rave reviews and was appreciated for its story and acting. Specially, Sri Devi was noted for her low key portrayal of the middle class Indian house wife who puts everyone in the family in front of her. The film seemed to be a challenging come back for an actress who was famous for her beauty, glamour quotient and dancing skills.
In the press meet held today, however, Sri Devi was back in her glamorous avatar. Donning a blue saree and answering the questions, Sri Devi looked every inch back in the game. Here are few pictures we could catch of the press meet –

So it is clear Sri Devi not only talked about the contribution of Tamil cinema to her career, she also thanked music maestro A.R. Rahman for giving the music for Mom. She has also debunked rumors going round about her daughter Jhanvi Kapoor’s bollywood debut, however both the mother and daughter are quick to pose for cameras as far as parties go.
So, buckle up guys for the emotional rollercoaster that Mom seems to be. Catch the movie in your nearest halls on 7th July and till then let do with this amazing trailer.
