Actress Sridevi, who makes her comeback to acting with Gauri Shinde's directorial debut English Vinglish, will be seen playing the role of a woman, who cannot speak English fluently and has self esteem issues because of it in the film.
Recently, a source revealed that the actress agreed to the role as she could identify with the character in the movie. Sridevi fans might remember that the 49 year old, who was born in Tamil Nadu and made her debut as an actress in the South film industry, did not have a good hold on Hindi and as such, had to struggle a lot during her initial few years in Bollywood.
It is being said that when Gauri narrated the story to Sridevi, she got nostalgic about her own days of struggling with an unknown language and was moved by it, which made her agree to act in the film.
Produced by R. Balki, English Vinglish will hit theatres on October 5 this year.
