Sridevi's birthday
Sridevi's birthday: Sridevi's name holds an important place in Indian cinema. He started his career as a child artist and later made his mark in Hindi and South Indian cinema. There were many memorable roles in his career, but one incident from his early days still surprises people.
When the equation of relationships changed
Sridevi entered the film industry at a very young age. After gaining recognition as a child artiste in South Indian films, he got opportunities to work with big names. In this sequence, his name was associated with famous actor NT Rama Rao.
Interestingly, Sridevi first played the role of NT Rama Rao's granddaughter and was later seen in a romantic role with him. This change became a topic of discussion regarding casting and storytelling in the film industry of that time.
Journey from granddaughter to girlfriend in the same pair
Sridevi played the role of NT Rama Rao's granddaughter in the 1972 film 'Badi Panthulu'. At that time his age was about 8-9 years.
A few years later, Sridevi worked with NT Rama Rao in a film that featured the two in a romantic relationship. At that time NT Rama Rao was about 55 years old, while Sridevi was about 15 years old.
Popular song filmed in rain
The song 'Aaku Chatu Pinde Tade' filmed on him also became quite famous. Rain and romantic scenes were used in the filming of this song. Although the song was liked, questions were raised on the pairing of NT Rama Rao with such a young Sridevi.
From today's point of view this matter seems even more uncomfortable, because Sridevi was a minor at that time. There was no debate on this type of casting in the film industry of that time like today.
Sridevi's film journey
These early films paved the way for Sridevi to move forward in South Indian cinema. Her journey from child artist to leading actress progressed rapidly and her talent started being talked about in the Hindi film industry as well.
Later, Sridevi entered Bollywood and touched such heights that she was counted among the most influential actresses of Indian cinema. This early chapter of her career may seem shocking today, but it is an interesting example of the casting and age-gap pairings prevalent in the film industry of that time.
