Boney Kapoor Disgusted By Sridevi Bungalow, Takes Legal Action Against Makers For Using Sridevi’s Name

Looks like internet sensation Priya Prakash Warrier’s first Bollywood outing is in hot waters. Priya is making her foray into Bollywood with director Prasanth Mambully’s Sridevi Bungalow. Apart from using the name of the late legendary actress’ name, the teaser also showed a death by drowning in a bathtub which is exactly how Sridevi died.

Boney Kapoor, who has now seen the trailer is clearly not happy with the film. In fact, Kapoor has issued a restraining order against the makers for using his late wife’s name in the title. A source close to the development informed, “He is disgusted by all those who have chosen to be associated with this lurid project. When he heard the film’s title and saw the first look, Boney had sent a legal notice to the producer. But so far they’ve ignored the notice. Boney intends to take even more strict legal action, asking for a restraining order against using Sridevi’s name in the title. They can make what they like — it’s a free world. But they can’t use that name”

Previously, talking about the controversies surrounding the film, Priya Prakash had said, “It is actually the director's and the producer's concern because I am just portraying a character they gave me. Intentionally it was not on our agenda to hurt anyone's personal feelings. I don't think we should let any negativity affect us because I am just starting my career in films. I am also a very big fan of Sridevi madam and though there was no intention to hurt anybody, we all know that controversies keep happening."
