As producer Boney Kapoor celebrates his birthday today, November 11, 2024, he is renowned for producing some of the best films to date, including Mr. India, No Entry, Wanted, and many others. He married the late legendary actress Sridevi, and on his special day, we take a trip down memory lane to revisit the efforts he made to win her heart and fulfill her desires while they worked together on Mr. India.
At the India Today Woman Summit in 2013, Boney Kapoor shared that he was mesmerized by Sridevi’s on-screen presence when he first saw her in a Tamil film in the late 1970s.
However, they didn’t have the opportunity to meet in person until the making of Mr. India. The film, directed by Shekhar Kapur and produced by Boney, starred Sridevi alongside Anil Kapoor and Amrish Puri. Boney described their first encounter as a “dream come true.”
Boney Kapoor recalled how the few words she spoke in broken Hindi and English deeply moved him, sparking his curiosity to get to know her better. Kapoor recalled that the late actress was already the highest-paid female actor, and Mr. India further solidified her position in the industry.
He shared that the making of Mr. India marked the beginning of their love story, and he made it a priority to ensure Sridevi had everything she needed, wanted, and desired.
The Mili producer explained that when shooting began, he made sure she was the most comfortable on set, providing her with everything she asked for and more. He ensured that her makeup room was the best and that she had the finest costumes, always anticipating her needs and desires.
He recalled that he would often give her choices, saying, “If you don’t like this, wear this; if you don’t like this, wear this.” He mentioned that this continued for some time, and with each meeting and shooting schedule, he found himself more and more affected by her.
He shared that he had followed her to Switzerland while she was filming for Yash Chopra‘s Chandni. He believed that Sridevi noticed his persistence and perhaps recognized his sincerity, realizing that he wasn’t just looking for a fling.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, starring Kartik Aaryan as Rooh Baba, along with Triptii Dimri, Vidya Balan, and Madhuri Dixit, is doing very well at the box office. The movie has shown a better hold than its rival release.
Directed by Anees Bazmee, the latest Diwali release has performed very well at the ticket window. The movie continues to trend with an impressive hold at the box office.
After minting Rs 148.75 crore in its first week, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 added around Rs 41 crore to the final tally in its second weekend. This is an encouraging figure for a relatively small film against Singham Again. The movie begins its 2nd weekend by collecting Rs 9 crore on Day 8, followed by a massive jump of 66% on Day 9 and minting around Rs 15 crore. It further saw another spike and collected in the vicinity of Rs 17 crore to Rs 17.50 crore today (Day 10), taking the 10-day final cume to Rs 190 crore net at the Indian box office.
With such a terrific 2nd weekend, the movie comfortably surpassed the lifetime India net box office collection of its previous instalment Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (Rs 181 crore), which was a massive hit in the post-pandemic times. It has also emerged as Kartik Aaryan‘s biggest grosser till date.
The much-loved horror-comedy is all set to zoom past the Rs 200 crore net mark at the Indian box office in a couple of days. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is not only Kartik Aaryan’s sixth clean hit but has now emerged as a Superhit venture. If it manages to hold well in the coming days, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has all chances to hit in the range of Rs 230 crore to Rs 250 crore net in India.
The Kartik Aaryan movie is slowly picking up and taking the lead over Singham Again on a daily basis. It will be interesting to see if it surpasses the lifetime collections of Ajay Devgn’s mega ensemble movie.
