NEW DELHI , Apr 21 : After impressing cinegoers with subtle acting in her last venture ‘English Vinglish’, renowned Bollywood diva Sridevi is back with another robust performance in thriller drama ‘Mom’ , scheduled to hit the screens on July 7. The movie features Sridevi, along with Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Akshaye Khanna. Poster and teaser of the flick, released earlier, have already created a buzz in film circles, as well as among the audience. The petite actor’s fans have been awaiting for her return to the big screen, after the success of her 2012 blockbuster English Vinglish.
The Gauri Shinde-directed movie had garnered both critical acclaim, as well as box office success in 2012. Directed by Ravi Udyawar , Mom, which has music by maestro A R Rahman, is one of the most anticipated films this year. The movie, produced by Zee Studios, Sunil Manchanda, Naresh Aggarwal, Gautam Jain, Mukesh Talreja and Boney Kapoor, was earlier slated to release on July 14, but its release was preponed by a week to avoid clash with Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘Jagga Jasoos’ and Shraddha Kapoor’s ‘Haseena’, trade sources said. Mom will also be released in Tamil and Telugu, simultaneously. The movie also features Pakistani actors Sajal Ali and Adnan Siddiqui in important roles. (AGENCIES)
