Veteran actress Sridevi, who is gearing up for her forthcoming film “Mom”, says that she is totally a director’s actor.

“I am totally a director’s actor. I surrendered totally to my director Ravi Udyawar. I followed his vision. I trusted him and it has been amazing. He did a wonderful job” said Sridevi at the trailer launch of the film.

Present also were her daughters Jhanvi, Khushi, producer-husband Boney Kapoor, actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui and the entire team of the film “Mom”.

Sridevi will be seen working for the first time with Nawazuddin and Akshaye Khanna. She says working in the film has been a beautiful experience for her.

“I’m working for the first time with a lot of people in this film. It’s really wonderful to see Nawazuddin on screen. He is a gifted actor. I’m huge admirer of his work. I have so much respect for him as an actor. Akshaye is such a powerful performer,” she said.

Sridevi also spoke about the “script” being the most important criteria for her and the script of “Mom” moved her.

Sridevi said: “For me the first thing is script. When I heard Mom’s script, it really touched me and moved me. I felt really nice about the story. That’s the reason I did the movie.”

The movie is set to release in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malyalam. Sridevi says it is difficult to dub in all the languages.

The film is being helmed by director Ravi Udyawar and produced by Boney Kapoor, Sunil Manchanda and Zee Studios. Musical maestro A.R. Rahman has been roped in to do the music for the film.

Veteran actress Sridevi made her comeback with English Vinglish which ended up as a massive hit. The actress was not in a hurry and she has been signing interesting films. She rejected many big films and the actress recently wrapped up her work for her upcoming movie titled MOM. Ravi Udyawar directed this thriller and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Akshay Khanna, Abhimanyu Singh and Sajal Ali played the other prominent roles in MOM.

As per the latest news, Sridevi will dub for her role in all the languages Telugu, Hindi, Tamil and Malayalam informed a source. MOM marks the 300th film of Sridevi and Boney Kapoor produced the movie. MOM is all set for release on July 7th across the globe. AR Rahman composed the music and the first teaser already received decent response all over.

Veteran actress Sridevi, who will next be seen in upcoming film “Mom”, says her daughters — Jhanvi and Khushi — never liked their mother to sing a lullaby for them as she has a “bad voice”.

Sridevi appeared on children’s singing reality show “Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs Season 6” to promote “Mom”.

“Whenever I would read them (Jhanvi and Khushi) a bedtime story, they’d never sleep, but when I would sing them a lullaby, they’d immediately fall asleep as I have a bad voice and they wouldn’t want me to sing any further,” Sridevi said in a statement.

She further said her daughters are “sensible kids” and have never given her a chance to be strict with them.

“I am more like a friend to them than their mother,” she said.

“My kids do not like to eat junk food at all. On the contrary, there are times when I, myself, wish they’d go eat some,” she added.

The episode of Zee TV’s “Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs Season 6” featuring Sridevi will be aired on Mother’s Day on Sunday.

To mark the occasion, Sridevi said: “A woman is incomplete without her mother or without becoming a mother.”

Directed by Ravi Udyawar, “Mom”, which also features Akshaye Khanna and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, is slated to release on July 7.
