In terms of films, after a successful comeback last year, she is taking things easy.

"I am listening to scripts but I am not in a hurry to do anything. It's not like, 'I have to do something'. If at all I do (a movie), definitely it should satisy me and I should be really confident to do that film," Sridevi said.
