/> "It was never meant to be publicized!" exclaims Boney Kapoor about his stunning wife Sridevi's alleged appearance in Halla Bol, Raj Kumar Santoshi's behind-the-scenes look at Bollywood.

"And you can't really call it a guest appearance. After so many years do you think Sri'd return to the screen with a guest appearance ?"

Sighs Boney, "Since Halla Bol is set in the film industry, Sri and I make a joint appearance on stage giving an award to Ajay Devgan who plays a star. Sri and I give an award at several awards functions. Would that qualify as a guest appearance? It's as much a guest appearance as Sri joining Karisma Kapoor in Jeena Issi Ka Naam Hai."

"Some things you do for friends," says Boney referring to his long-term association with Raj Santoshi who made Pukar for Boney's banner. "That doesn't mean it gets used as a publicity gimmick."
