The legendary actress of Indian cinema
Sridevi passed away this earlier this year and we still can't believe it. While she has left for the heavenly adobe, we still have her wondrous movies to watch and adore. Her work is still there to admire her at least one more time.
Today, Shekhar Kapur, the director of
Mr. India, shared a picture with us and we were left in the awe of it all. The picture was a still from the scene where some children catch a cockroach in their hand and run behind
Sridevi. Shekhar Kapur today revealed that her fear was not acted out, it was genuine. Sri feared cockroaches and she screamed in genuine fear.
He wrote,"The famous cockroach scene from Mr India. My personal favourite. For the brilliant SriDevi was really scared of cockroaches. And the kids had a great time running after her with a live cockroach. With Sri screaming in real terror. And I had a 'cockroach close up' too .. where the cockroach was sizing SriDevi .. wondering whether to attack her or not. How did we take a 'cockroach close up' ? By getting the cockroach drunk! Do you know that cockroaches love Old Monk Rum ?
Seriously ... By the way, that kid holding the live cockroach in SriDevi's face? That Ahmed Khan .. who became one of Indian Film Industry's most famous Choreographer. And now the Hit Director of the the Baghi franchise with Tiger Shroff. "
