Sridevi's 'Chandni' Blockbuster: How She Stole the Show from Rishi Kapoor, Vinod Khanna
- •Yash Chopra took a big risk in 1989 by making the romantic film 'Chandni' when action films dominated the industry.
- •Sridevi was initially hesitant to star in 'Chandni' due to its white-color concept, but later agreed, and the film became a career-defining classic for her.
- •The film is credited with saving Yash Chopra's career, which was almost sinking at the time.
- •Despite Rishi Kapoor, Vinod Khanna, and Juhi Chawla also starring, Sridevi alone took all the credit for 'Chandni', with the film still remembered by her name.
- •Vinod Khanna was difficult to cast for his small role, and Juhi Chawla's part was so minor she likely regretted it.
