Sridevi is happy with
her new taste of suc
cess with “English Vinglish”. The veteran actress believes the simple story of a housewife stuck with the woes of the English language as well as expressive screenplay has helped the movie strike a chord with the audiences.
Sridevi is especially glad that it didn’t take any melodrama to attract viewers. ” ‘English Vinglish’ is simple; that’s why people like it. The film has simplicity and sensitivity. There is no melodrama. Some things have been conveyed just through expressions and no lines,” Sridevi told IANS in an interview.
The 49-year-old, who has scorched the silver screen after 15 years and struck gold, is surprised at the praise that the movie, directed by first-timer Gauri Shinde, has garnered.
She plans to continue her acting career now, but says she will select her roles with caution. “It’s all about the script. I don’t want to do something which makes me feel uncomfortable. It should suit my image and age,” she said.
Sridevi is yet to sign anything new after “English Vinglish”. ” I am still promoting ‘English Vinglish’. So once I am done with this, I will see some more,” she said.
Sridevi achieved success with films like ‘Sadma’, ‘Nagina’, ‘Mr. India’, ‘Chandni’, ‘ChaalBaaz’, ‘Lamhe’ and ‘Judaai’, after which she took a break in 1997 to devote time to her family. (IANS)
