This star became highest-paid actress, got film offers while sitting at home, revived Rishi Kapoor, Vinod Khanna's career by…, died tragically due to…, she was…
Several actresses in Indian cinema have seen their careers take a dramatic turn after a single standout role. Whether it was a breakthrough debut or a powerful comeback, these performances not only showcased their talent but also changed the trajectory of their careers. However, there was this one actress who stood apart, not just for her unmatched talent, but for how she became a game-changer for two actors of the industry, which revived their sinking careers. The Legendary Actress of Bollywood… Here, we are talking about legendary late actress Sridevi who is considered as one of the most finest in the history of Indian Cinema. The actress, who made her debut with the 1979 romantic-drama Solva Sawan. She turned everyone's heads towards her after featuring with Jeetendra in the action drama Himmatwala, which became a game-changer for the actress. As per reports by Hindustan Times, she charged Rs 1 crore for doing a film, which made her the highest-paid actress of the 90s era. In the upcoming years, she became one of the most respected actors from the country and became part of yet another blockbuster Chaandni. But, did you know an interesting story about this film that became a game-changer for two actors and a director? The Story Behind the Film… The 1989 film was helmed by late director Yash Chopra, who was best known for his dynamic storytelling and experimental approach towards cinema. He tried the same with this film as well. At first, the script was written by Kamna Chandra. As per her writing, Chandni left her husband, having a son, and falling in love with Lalit. The climax would be her kid attending her wedding. However, Chopra disapproved of this and took a section of the writing and made changes, but after the changes, exhibitors of the film felt that it may not work for the masses. When Yash Chopra Visited Sridevi's House Yash Chopra approached Sridevi after seeing her performance in her Tamil film titled Moondram Pirai and asked his close friend Boney Kapoor to arrange a meeting with her, but later decided to meet in person with her. Later, the director visited Sridevi's home in Chennai, narrated the script, and signed her for the film. After its initial release, the film garnered huge heaps of praise for its amazing storytelling and groundbreaking performance, which became a huge reason for its success. The film, which was made under Rs 8 crore, mounted Rs 27 crore and emerged as a blockbuster and the highest-grossing film of that year. The film's success revived the sinking careers of Rishi Kapoor, Vinod Khanna, and Yash Chopra, who were facing rough patches before Chaandni. Rishi Kapoor, who gave many significant flops, became an overnight star, while Vinod Khanna earned lots of praise for shifting his roles from action hero to lover boy. The Tragic End of Sridevi On February 24, 2018, she was discovered dead in her guest room at the Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with the reason listed as accidental drowning. Media reports suggested that she lost her consciousness and she drowned in the hotel room's bathtub.
