&quot;This film is inspired by my mom. Like most people in India struggle with this language, it&#39;s just the insensitivity and insecurity that made me do this film,&quot; Shinde said. <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2011/oct/shridevi.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 730px; " /> Asked how she managed to cast Sridevi in her debut film, she said: &quot;While writing the script, I did not think of anyone. When Balki met Boney and Sridevi, they asked him what was he doing at that time. Balki mentioned about me writing a script. Sridevi liked the subject and I narrated the script to her and it just happened.&quot; Like Balki, who is known to portray all women characters in his films in a very strong light, even Shinde has managed to do the same with &quot;English Vinglish&quot;.u00a0&quot;I am a woman and I will show all my women as strong characters,&quot; she said.u00a0&quot;English Vinglish&quot; is slated for release Oct 5.u00a0

Gauri Shinde, wife of filmmaker R. Balki, who is debuting as a director with "English Vinglish", says the film is inspired by her mother
