'I feel like it's my first film'

New project

Mom’ is her 300th film, but actor Sridevi still feels like a newcomer in the film industry.

Sridevi said she is always as enthusiastic as a debutante and would like to do as many films as possible.“I feel like it’s my first film, I feel like a newcomer. It’s a long way to go,” Sridevi said at the trailer launch of ‘Mom’.

The 53-year-old star said working on the film was a great experience.

“I am working with a lot of people for the first time like Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Akshaye Khanna.”

“Nawazuddin is a gifted actor, it is wonderful to see him onscreen. I am a huge admirer of his work and have a lot of respect for him. Akshaye Khanna is a powerful performer.”

“Ravi Udaywar, my director, had a beautiful vision for the film and Boney Kapoor is an amazing producer. It was nice working with Sajal Ali and Adnan Siddiqui, we miss them (on promotions),” she said.

Sridevi said that the script is still her priority while signing a film and the gripping plot of ‘Mom’ was the reason for her to say yes to the project.

When quizzed about her elder daughter Jhanvi’s Bollywood debut, Sridevi replied, “Today we will talk about Jhanvi’s mom, we will talk about Jhanvi later.”
