Well, apart from that Sridevi had also turned down Shah Rukh Khan-led Darr who also starred Sunny Deol and Juhi Chawla in the lead roles.
Opening up about the same, she had told the media, “After Chandni and Lamhe, I feel Darr would have been an ordinary character for me. If I’m playing Shah Rukh Khan’s role, then of course, I would have loved to do it. The character Juhi played was new for her and so it was good for her. But for me, it was something I had done many times before.”
Sridevi was last seen in a cameo role in Shah Rukh Khan-led Zero and before that she was seen in Mom which received her accolades from one and all.
