Talking to Zoom TV, Boney Kapoor revealed that Gauri Shinde was supposed to do English Vinglish with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. And R Balki wanted to do it with Sridevi in South Indian languages. It was the Maidaan producer and late Sridevi’s husband who questioned Balki why he wanted to do the film only in South Indian languages with Sridevi. He added that there couldn’t be anybody better than her to do the Hindi version as well.
