Boney Kapoor Says Sridevi Waived ₹50–70 Lakh for Mom to Hire A R Rahman

In a new interview, the producer recounts meticulous choices that, he says, defined her work on Mom.

Overview

  • Kapoor shared the account on the Game Changers YouTube channel, offering first‑hand recollections of Sridevi’s process late in her career.
  • Sridevi refused to share a room with Kapoor during the Mom shoot to stay immersed in character across schedules in Noida and Georgia.
  • She dubbed her performance for the Tamil and Telugu versions of Mom and closely supervised the Malayalam track to keep the voice in sync with her acting.
  • Kapoor said she often handled her own makeup, sketched costume ideas, and even influenced set color schemes to align visuals with her vision.
  • He has also discussed a potential sequel to Mom with daughter Khushi Kapoor in the lead, describing it as a plan he is considering rather than a finalized project.
