The young actress Priya Prakash Varrier also known as “the Wink girl” will be making her Bollywood debut with Prasanth Mambully’s ‘Sridevi Bungalow’. But her journey does not look so easy, as the film has hit a roadblock with the release of its first official teaser.
The teaser which released on Sunday was widely criticized by the fans, as it resembles the real-life story of the Actress Sridevi. The teaser’s ending invited angry attention and slamming from the netizens, as it shows Priya drowning into a bathtub.
Priya is seen as an actress named Sridevi in the teaser and she says that she is her own favorite. The teaser has landed into controversy for using the actress’s name and showing her lonely and tragic death, which happened a year ago.
Sridevi’s husband Boney Kapoor issued a legal notice against the filmmakers. The film’s director accepted the fact that they have received a notice last week and said that he is all set to fight it out in the court. Prasanth even revealed that he told Boney that Sridevi is a common name and Priya will be essaying the character of Sridevi, who is also an actress.
The demised actress’s fans are very furious at the film’s resemblance to her real life. They called it shameful and disgusting on the Internet.
This has been made in really bad taste.
She deserves to be treated better.#Sridevi#SrideviBungalowhttps://t.co/AH2ziAtw3t— Ankur (@TheSinghAnkur) January 14, 2019

Such a shameful and disgusting act it is by the makers of #SrideviBungalow to depict the legendary actress in such a disgraceful manner. Utter nonsense and rubbish it is. I want the Indian Film Fraternity to take strong action on it. The departed soul deserves respect. 🙏🙏🙏

The teaser of sleazefest masquerading as a movie #SrideviBungalow is a dirty & ugly attempt to tarnish the image of an Indian icon. The movie has to be banned! Nobody should be allowed to get away with such a cheap act for fame & mileage. #Sridevi

I cannot believe this…. Not even a full year since she passed away and such movies are being made! I hope it gets banned! At least you could of thought of her two daughters & husband before making such a film! Disgraceful #SrideviBungalow
