The teaser of the film was recently unveiled and it has already raised quite a few eyebrows but for all the wrong reasons. In the teaser, we can see Priya playing a superstar who enjoys her life until one unfortunate incident changes everything. In the end, Priya’s character is seen lying dead in a bathtub which has created a stir as it’s similar to how Sridevi died in real life.

According to a report published in in Deccan Chronicle, Boney Kapoor isn’t happy with the sleazy representation of his wife’s life. “Boney won’t play into their hands and make any statement as these people (behind Sridevi Bungalow) are only looking at how to generate curiosity in their pathetic film. But he will take every legal step to prevent this sleazy film from being made,” the daily quoted a source close to the film-maker.

“For Boney, a sleazy representation of his wife’s life is unacceptable. He will not rest easy until this project is aborted,” it added.

It is to be noted that Boney Kapoor has already sent a legal notice to the makers of ‘Sridevi Bungalow’. On the other hand, Mambully had said that he has conveyed it to Boney that his film is a suspense thriller and his film’s character also happens to be an actress. According to the director, Sridevi is a very common name.

Meanwhile, in a statement, Priya said, “Sridevi is just the name of my character in the movie. Who would want to create such controversies? I think the curiosity surrounding the trailer is good and we have to leave it to the audience to judge if the film is based on the veteran actress Sridevi ma’am.”

On February 25 last year, the legendary actor Sridevi passed away. According to the post-mortem report, the actress died due to “accidental drowning” in a bathtub at a Dubai hotel. Her death was a huge shock for the family and her fans.
