Sridevi’s untimely demise on February 24, 2018, shook the entire nation. Her sudden death by accidentally drowning in a bathtub in Dubai evoked many suspicions amongst the fans. However, after the UAE government handed over the papers related to the case, the matter was cleared and closed for once and all. Now, filmmaker Sunil Singh has touched the matter again by filing plea in the Supreme Court seeking an investigation into the death of the English Vinglish actress. The SC has decided to proceed with the hearing on Friday, as reported in a leading entertainment portal. Singh had earlier filed PIL in Delhi High Court claiming that there is a foul play in the case. However, it was rejected.

The filmmaker maintained that the superstar’s death case is of national interest. He also claimed that he was in Dubai from February 20 to February 26. Post Sridevi’s death, he apparently talked to the related hotel staff and hospital officials and got a ‘contradictory’ information than what is out in public.

On the other hand, Raveesh Kumar, MEA Spokesperson had earlier told media, “As far as I know, the paperwork from UAE govt were handed over to us and on the basis of that the mortal remains were brought to India. Had there been something suspicious, it would have come out by now.” There has been no statement out from the Kapoor family yet.

Meanwhile, the late diva’s producer-husband Boney Kapoor is planning a documentary based on Sridevi’s life. The documentary will reportedly have voiceovers of people close to Sridevi’s heart. For more updates, stay tuned.
