“I am an ardent fan of Sridevi, I was nervous (while doing the film). But having said that we are recreating ‘Hawa Hawai’ song that guys have seen in ‘Mr India’. “It is a tribute to her, we are having fun. There is only one Sridevi,” Vidya told reporters here at the trailer launch of “Tumhari Sulu”.
