Amala Paul has finished another schedule of her ambitious film ‘Naayak’ directed by V V Vinayak with Ram Charan Teja in Hyderabad and Mumbai.

But on Oct 5, she found time to watch English Vinglish at a multiplex in Hyderabad. She tweeted: “1 of my absolute fav actresses! Whn it coms to sridevi, I’m totaly CRAZY! Im Gonna watch u n silverscreen for the 1st time”

Amala smiles: "I am crazy about Sridevi. As a child I used to watch all her songs on TV. Usually teenagers of my age used to have pictures of heroes on their bedside. But I had Sridevi's posters in my room though by the time she had married and settled down".

The actress is so inspired by Sridevi that she is paying a tribute to the actress for the JFW 'Divas of south' awards in Chennai on Oct 12. Adds Amala:

" Sridevi has been my inspiration to become an actress and now for the first time, I am performing live to all the hit Sridevi numbers in Tamil which I am all excited about".
