Sridevi’s role was a gender-swapped take on Amjad Khan’s character in ‘Sholay’, where she sought vengeance for the murder of her husband. This performance, often considered underrated, showcases her ability to elevate the material. Shah Rukh Khan’s cameo as her husband saw him agreeing to wear a mustache, a first and last for his career, to complement Sridevi. He once stated his willingness to do anything to act alongside her.

Sridevi’s dedication to every role, regardless of the film’s genre, was remarkable. Her focus on set was unwavering, blocking out all other thoughts. This commitment explains the impact she made in films like ‘Army,’ a film where she played the role of Sanjeev Kumar from ‘Sholay’, leading a team of avengers.
