The Chief Minister also said the sudden death of the actress, who immortalised several characters in different languages, was an “irreparable loss to the Indian film industry.”
Meanwhile, several veteran Malayalam film personalities including yesteryear actors and filmmakers mourned the death of the ‘Chandini’ actress, who acted in over 20 Malayalam films, including ‘Devaragam’ opposite Arvind Swamy.
Sridevi had won the best child actress title in Malayalam for her performance in the film Poompatta (1971).
