On cinema legend Sridevi’s 56th birth anniversary, Penguin Random House India has announced a book on the life of the actress. The book, titled Sridevi: Girl Woman Superstar, is written by author-screenwriter Satyarth Nayak and approved by the actor’s producer husband Boney Kapoor.

According to a press release issued by the publication house, the book recounts the life and times of the iconic actress who changed how women stars were perceived in the male-dominated film industry.  The book will be published under the Ebury Press imprint of Penguin Random House in October 2019 and is available for pre-order on e-commerce websites. 

“I have always been a huge admirer of Sridevi and this book gave me the perfect opportunity to celebrate the journey of India’s beloved screen Goddess. It was wonderful interacting with various film personalities that she worked with over the years, and put together their memories and stories into a narrative that charts her saga from a child star to India’s first female superstar,” Satyarth said in a statement. 

The writer revealed that the book will delve deep into Sridevi’s iconic body of work in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada cinema. — IANS
