Renowned filmmaker Shekhar Kapur recently paid a moving tribute to the late legendary actress Sridevi on the occasion of her birth anniversary, offering fans an intimate look into her personality both on and off the camera. Reflecting on their memorable collaboration in the iconic 1987 sci-fi superhero film Mr India, the director shared a rare throwback photograph of them together and penned a heartfelt note remembering her not just as an international superstar, but as a director’s best friend. Shekhar Kapur highlighted how integral Sridevi was to the success of the movie, confessing that Mr India would simply not have been possible without her extraordinary creative partnership and her constant ability to surprise everyone on set every single day.
Describing her unique demeanor away from the lens, the director pointed out that Sridevi was almost in complete denial of her massive stardom during shoot breaks. Unlike contemporary actors who often retreat into their private vanity vans, Sridevi would sit quietly and modestly in her chair, showing no air of a celebrated diva. However, the moment the camera started rolling, an electric transformation took place as she radiated an overwhelming energy that captivated the entire crew. Shekhar Kapur recalled that during intense dance sequences, her mesmerizing presence would often cause him to completely forget to yell “cut” or switch off the camera. Expressing deep gratitude for having worked with India’s first female superstar, the filmmaker concluded his tribute by stating that Sridevi was truly a rare gift to cinema and that there will never be another artist quite like her.
