Sridevi will be honoured with an icon award at Cannes Film Festival
The late actor and Bollywood icon will receive a special salute for her contribution to cinema on May 16
Rumours on the grapevine say that Deepika Padukone has been roped in for a remake of Sridevi's hit film from the 70s.
According to DNA India's source,"The original Sridevi film was made by a producer from the South and directed by a Bollywood director. However, talks are on to procure the rights and remake it with Deepika."
But that's all we know so far as "nobody is willing to comment on the subject because talks have just been mooted and there are a lot of modalities involved. However, it is true that Deepika is in the know.’’
The name of the film is yet to be revealed.
