Sridevi played huge role in my obsession with Hindi cinema, says Karan Johar

Sridevi played huge role in my obsession with Hindi cinema, says Karan Johar - Karan said he was such a die-hard fan of Sridevi that it would have been disaster for him to direct her in a movie. Mumbai: For Karan Johar, Sridevi's movies are a window to his childhood and the beginning of his love for Hindi cinema. Growing up in South Bombay, Karan said not many kids in his locality were interested in Hindi cinema in '80s but he loved the way Sridevi connected with the audiences. Sridevi known for her films like “Sadma”, “Mr India”, “Lamhe”, “English Vinglish”, "Mom” among others, passed away in February last year. "For me, today and every moment of Sridevi takes me back to my entire childhood and my entire being and my passionate love for movies and my absolute obsession with Hindi cinema. I think she has a large part to do with it. I can't recall the moment when I felt madly in love with her. I was her biggest fan,” Karan said at the book launch here on Sunday evening. Karan, who launched "Sridevi - The External Screen Goodess", written by Satyarth Nayak, in Mumbai a few days after its Delhi launch by Deepika Padukone, said while Hindi cinema was a low priority for children around him, he just sat at home and watched movies, including all of Sridevi's work. "I remember watching ‘Himmatwala' with my house help in a cinema hall, I went multiple times to watch it and then every other movie after that. I remember dancing on pot and pan just like she had. My love story began with her and it just never ended.” Reminiscing an incident when he chose Sridevi's film over his father's own movie, Karan said, his father, late filmmaker Yash Johar, was upset with him as he went to see “Mr India” instead of “Mukkadar Ka Faisla”. “My father was releasing a film on the same day as ‘Mr India'. He had released ‘Mukkadar Ka Faisla', which was directed by Prakash Mehra and my father was very hurt with me because on the opening day I went running to see ‘Mr India' and I did not see my father's film. “Sridevi had the magical quality of connecting with you. She just seemed unattainable, inaccessible, just the way you want your stars to be, and I had put her up on a pedestal. She became like (that) with every movie.” Karan said he was such a die-hard fan of Sridevi that it would have been disaster for him to direct her in a movie had they worked together. "I am not sure if I would have been the best director for her because I would have been too much of a fan. And somewhere a filmmaker has to be very objective about his or her work. And fandom can make you lose objective and I think I would have lost complete objectivity. So I am glad I never directed her as I would have give her a failure, which she did not deserve," Karan said. It was during the making of her father's 1993 production "Gumrah" when Karan met Sridevi and the director said he found her to be quite reticent. "I was dying to be her best friend, tried everything, talked to her but she was always quiet. She took compliments and adulation just like how she would treat silence, like it would not bother her." The director said Sridevi was very involved with her films and would often give suggestions. "When I narrated the film (referring to 'Kalank') that she was meant to do before she passed away, she read the script, she made her notes and she told me a few brilliant things, which I wish we had listened to. She had some wonderfully intuitive things. She had always had that sense... She was not given credit for a lot of things. There was a ticking brain I don't think she got enough credit for," he added.

Sridevi achieved what many of our biggest heroes could not, shares her biographer Satyarth Nayak - Times of India

Today marks the second death anniversary of Indian cinema’s superstar, Sridevi. Capturing her illustrious journey in his book Sridevi: The eternal screen goddess, Satyarth Nayak remembers the legend who played some path breaking roles and left a permanent void in the Indian film industry. Here is the lowdown of the chat…

Your first book was a mystery thriller. What inspired you to write Sridevi’s biography? I have been an ardent admirer of Sridevi and I had always been appalled by the fact that there was no elaborate book celebrating her prolific career. Hailed as India’s First Female Superstar, she not only remains the longest running No.1 actress in Hindi Cinema but she’s the only actress who was No.1 in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu cinema. Such was her stardom that she towered above her male co-stars and became the ‘hero’ of her films. She is also the only heroine who made a triumphant comeback post her marriage, thus shattering Bollywood rules, just as she had challenged industry patriarchy throughout her career. Her legacy spans fifty years and yet there was no book chronicling these legendary achievements of her. I guess Sridevi’s massive body of work was intimidating for most writers and I glad my book got to celebrate the female megastar. While the initial idea of this book had been discussed with her and Boney sir, post her untimely demise, it’s now taken the shape and form of a tribute to her inspiring cinematic journey. I am grateful to both Boney sir and Penguin for helping me turn my vision into reality.

Today marks the death anniversary of the legendary actress. Since you have literally lived through her life, what are your emotions? My deepest emotion is that Sri’s untimely demise is a big blow to the cause of actresses in cinema. Sridevi had the guts to refuse films opposite Amitabh unless she had an equally solid role. Amitabh had to woo her by sending her a truckload of flowers to finally get her to act opposite him in Khuda Gawah. It just shows that she was always someone who flowed against the tide. She respected her own stardom and talent and wanted to remind the audiences of the true glory of an Indian film heroine. She became the ‘hero’ of her films and raised the status of the Indian film heroine to a whole new dimension. Today we talk about misogyny, patriarchy, sexism and toxic masculinity in the industry and Sridevi had battled it all in the eighties and emerged victorious. She was respectfully addressed as ‘Mai’ in Bollywood who had become more powerful than her male co-stars and was even paid more than them. It’s even more relevant today and I want it to be a big take-away for the readers of this book. She not only empowered her audiences but also became a messiah for the LGBT community worldwide. She was the only star who could be No.1 in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu industries. By becoming a truly pan-Indian megastar, Sridevi achieved what many of our biggest heroes could not. She will forever remain an inspiration for generations of actresses to come.

What was the biggest challenge you faced while writing Sridevi’s biography? One big challenge was what to keep out of the book given that Sridevi’s career is so prolific. This was a book about an actress whose career spanned 50 years, 5 languages and 300 films. Condensing this gargantuan journey in a book was quite daunting but that was also fun. Another big challenge was to write this book in the absence of Sridevi. If she would have been alive, the narrative would have been even more personal. Thankfully, I had a huge stack of film magazines from the 80s and 90s that form a part of my personal collection. They are filled with interviews of Sridevi through various stages of her career. In her absence, those quotes have become her voice in my book. When you read those, you will get glimpses of both the person and the performer that she was.

What were the elements you steered clear of while penning the biography? I have consciously avoided anything that falls in the realm of speculation. Everything in the book is certified and factual. All information given has been double-checked for authenticity and duly attributed to sources. Hence any data which is mere conjecture has been kept out of the book. While I was initially keen to interview Janhvi and Khushi, Boney sir advised me against it as it would have been emotionally taxing for both of them. So I avoided intruding on that personal space of grief. Also there are many conspiracy theories floating around regarding Sri’s sudden demise. Thankfully many credible voices spoke to me about it and I have attempted to provide a rational explanation of her death.

What is the biggest treat for readers in the book? The biggest treat would be the memories and rare anecdotes about Sridevi that everyone I have interviewed have shared for the book. I was fortunate to interview over 70 personalities, both in Bollywood and down south, who were associated with Sridevi both personally and professionally. Those interviews have yielded fascinating stories. Like while Kamal Haasan reveals the pranks he pulled on Sri, Anil Kapoor reminisces about the Marwah wedding night in Dubai when he met Sri for the last time. While Rajinikanth remembers moments from his first film with Sridevi, Nagarjuna reveals an incident that somewhat forewarns the manner of Sri’s tragic demise. While Chiranjeevi shares what he learnt from Sridevi, Karan Johar recollects her personal traits that he discovered watching her on sets. While Raghavendra Rao talks about a near fatal incident that happened with Sridevi when she was a child star, Ram Gopal Varma shares his favourite Sridevi moment off-screen. And while Shruti Haasan shares the life lesson that she picked up from Sri, Kajol and Vidya Balan tell you why she remains their biggest inspiration. You will also find personal anecdotes about how Sridevi coped with her father’s death and her mother’s botched up surgery in New York. Many such anecdotes form the beating heart of the book.

What is the feedback you are getting about the book? I am ecstatic that the book has been getting a wonderful response from readers. Many keep tweeting to me to share how much they have loved the book because it reveals so many unknown things about her. For many, it has also been an emotional experience to relive Sridevi’s fascinating journey that culminated with such an untimely end. One fan actually wrote to me saying this book has become like Bhagvad Gita for him! That her admirers have loved the book is the biggest reward for me. The reviews have also been fantastic and we have already entered the bestseller list on Amazon.

Last but not the least, why do you write? Scribo ergo sum. I write therefore I am. Period.
