The actress, who took a break from work in 1997, returned to the big screen with English Vinglish, which opened in cinemas in 2012. The film is set to complete 10 years on October 10.
Director Gauri Shinde has elaborate plans to celebrate the special occasion. She intends to auction the sarees worn by Sridevi in English Vinglish. The money collected from this will go to an NGO working towards girls'
education.
