Mahurat of Chand Ka Tukda

The poor cousins of Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari [1990], Sridevi is cast opposite Salman Khan in Chandra Mukhi [1993] and Chand Ka Tukda [1994], a testimony to how she was toying with industry rules. Having been paired with much older actors for years, the female superstar had now snatched another privilege, accorded exclusively to heroes. Also, with many of her contemporary actors wary of playing second fiddle to her, she had smoothly graduated towards newer options now. Talking to FILMFARE, Salman appeared suitably in awe: "It's s good to work with an actress like Sridevi but I am scared. She has the reputation of finishing off the hero with her performance."
