Sridevi returns to the screen

Sridevi made her successful Bollywood comeback in 2012 with Gauri Shinde's “English Vinglish”, then disappeared for three years. Now, she'll return with a Tamil action-adventure, “Puli” (“Tiger”), co-starring Vijay. 

“Everyone in the South wants her back, she's really popular here. She heard the script and thought it was the right subject for her return. She's looking beautiful and younger than the other two actresses, Shruti Haasan and Hansika Motwane as you'll see in the teaser,” raved filmmaker Shibu Thameens. The 51-year-old-actress is supposedly playing a queen in the film. 

“It's not a period drama or a contemporary film. It's an action-adventure on the lines of Russell Crowe's 'The Gladiator',” says Shibu. “She is the head of a group, someone with unbelievable strength and powers and has a lot of action scenes.”
