Sridevi in English VinglishAlthough her performance in her big comeback film English Vinglish got her much critical appreciation, Sridevi has to decide if she will agree to do a cameo.

A few days ago, Fox Star Studios sent feelers to the talented actress to make a special appearance in Amole Gupte’s upcoming film Hawaa Hawaai. The out-and-out masala movie stars Amole’s son Partho Gupte and Saqib Saleem and is being shot in various locations in the city.

The famous Mr India song, Kehte Hain Mujhko Hawa Hawai, gave Sridevi the tag of Miss Hawa Hawai.

A source close to the film told Mirror: “The makers strongly feel that she should be a part of the film since its very name is derived from one of Sridevi’s most famous songs. Her shoot is being planned for January. She will be seen in a few scenes. However, she is yet to give her nod to the cameo.”

Eros International has announced that it will be releasing R. Balki produced English Vinglish worldwide on 21st September 2012. The film will be trilingual and has been shot in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

English Vinglish, directed by Gauri Shinde who makes her directorial debut, marks the much awaited comeback of Sridevi after a 14 year sabbatical. A slice of life film, English Vinglish explores the impact of not knowing the English language in everyday life. The film also features French actor Mehdi Nebbou, Adil Hussain and Priya Anand. Amitabh Bachchan will be making a guest appearance in the film.

Speaking on the announcement, Sunil Lulla, Managing Director, Eros International Media Ltd said, “With English Vinglish, we are excited for Sridevi’s return to acting and with Balki and Gauri at the helm, we believe there’s a lot of anticipation around the film. Eros is very proud to associate with this project and present it to audiences worldwide”.

R. Balki added, ‘Sridevi is such a natural and was the perfect choice for this role. Not knowing English in our country is a big deal. Three things differentiate people here — fame, money and the knowledge of English. The film deals with her insecurities and how she shows the world that speaking the language isn’t a big deal. I am pleased to tie-up with Eros International who will present this film on a global platform.”
