A year after she became an internet sensation for her wink and eyebrow game, Priya Prakash Varrier is back in the headlines. The actress is all set to make her Bollywood debut with the film Sridevi Bungalow, directed by Prasanth Mambully. However, the film is already in a swirling vortex of a controversy as it is said to be a mockery of late actress Sridevi’s life. Sridevi died last year, leaving a nation of devastated fans behind.
