Producer R Balki, while praising the leading lady of the film, said, "Sridevi is natural and was the perfect choice for this role. Not knowing English in our country is a big deal. Three things differentiate people here - fame, money and the knowledge of English. The film deals with her insecurities and how she shows the world that speaking the language is not a big deal."


'English Vinglish', set to be released on September 21, marks the comeback of Sridevi after a 14-year sabbatical. The film features French actor Mehdi Nebbou, Adil Hussain and Priya Anand. Megastar Amitabh Bachchan will be making a guest appearance in the film.u00a0

Sridevi was last seen in a full-fledged role in 1997 film 'Judaai' with Anil Kapoor and Urmila Matondkar. 'English Vinglish' is director R Balki's wife Gauri Shinde's directorial debut and produced by Balki

"With 'English Vinglish', we are excited for Sridevi's return to acting and with Balki and Gauri at the helm we believe there is a lot of anticipation around the film," Sunil Lulla, from the produciton house, said. u00a0
