Needless to say, that the woman in the poster isn't actress Sridevi. One of the stories doing the rounds of the internet is Varma didn't seek the actress's permission before using her name in the title, which infuriated Sridevi and her husband. Though there is no ground to prove that the filmmaker is referring to her in the film, the actress and her producer-director husband took offence.
The fact that Boney Kapoor slapped a legal notice on Varma indicates that there is more to the story than what is obvious.
Reports suggest that Kapoor feared that because the title of Varma's film isSridevi, the audiences may be misled into believing that the film is actually about his wife. Since the film has already been labelled 'sleazy' for its first-look and content, Kapoor is possibly reacting to the use of his wife's name in the film with alarm.
However, unless Kapoor thinks that Indian film audiences have the intelligence less than that of pigeons, there is no real reason for alarm. It is evident from the film's plotline, available just a click away on the internet, that it has no resemblance to anything we know about Sridevi, the actor.
