Arbaaz Khan says there is no connection between Sridevi Bungalow and Sridevi

Actor Arbaaz Khan said he initially had concerns about starring in Sridevi Bungalow as the subject of the film appeared to be linked with superstar Sridevi’s death.The film features Priya Prakash Varrier in the title role, while Arbaaz will be seen in a guest appearance portraying the part of a Bollywood actor.

Sridevi Bungalow was mired into controversy as the plot line of the film seemed to make a reference to Sridevi’s demise. The last shot of the trailer ends with Priya’s character dying in a bathtub.

Sridevi, aged 53, died of accidental drowning in her hotel room’s bathtub in Dubai in February 2018. The late actor’s husband-producer Boney Kapoor had issued a legal notice to the makers of the film earlier this year.

Priya echoed Arbaaz’s sentiments.“It is more of director and producer’s concern because I am portraying the character that is given to me. It was not our agenda to intentionally hurt anyone’s feelings,” she added.The film, directed by Prasanth Mampully, is the story of a successful actor named Sridevi who leads a lonely life.
