Jurassic Park is among the landmark films of Hollywood. However, there was an actress who rejected to be a part of Steven Spielberg's iconic film.
Today, actors around the world look upon exploring the international film industry and consider the opportunity of cross-pollination as a huge milestone in their careers. Hollywood's acclaimed filmmaker Steven Spielberg needs no introduction. Collaborating with him could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. However, we had an actress from India, who said no to him.
Late actress Sridevi has been among the first pan-India star who charmed her fans across the globe. After giving remarkable hits in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam cinema, she would have been a big name in the West as well. On the 60th birth anniversary of Sridevi, we bring to you an interesting fact about the actress. In 1990, Sridevi was approached to star in the celebrated blockbuster Jurrasic Park (1993). However, Sridevi refused to be a part of the film and rejected the offer. The actress herself made the revelation during the media interaction of her last film Mom (2017). In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Sridevi mentioned rejecting Jurrasic Park, and Akshaye Khanna asked her the reason. Sridevi replied to him saying, "Those days, doing Hollywood films was alien, now it’s like a pride.”
From the 80s to the 90s, Sridevi was among the top Bollywood actress, and she featured in several blockbusters including Himmatwala, Sadma, Nagina, Mr India, Karma, Chandini, Chaalbaaz, Laadla, Gumrah, Khuda Gawah, and Judaai. In her illustrious career of 5 decades, Sridevi has been part of 92 Telugu films, 74 Tamil films, 72 Hindi films, 25 Malayalam films and 5 Kannada films. She also made her debut in television with Malini Iyer. The family comedy also marked her return to the screen after seven years.
Sridevi died on February 24, 2018, in the Jumeirah Emirates Tower in Dubai, where she was found dead in her hotel room bathtub by her husband Boney Kapoor. While earlier her death was termed as a case of cardiac arrest, the cause of death was later determined as “accidental drowning”, which sparked a major mystery into her untimely demise.
