Following the release of
English Vinglish in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea and Germany,
Sridevi recently travelled with her comeback film to Japan. The movie
was premiered in Tokyo, where the country's First Lady, Mrs Akie Abe,
was the Chief Guest.
The actress was accompanied by her husband, producer Boney Kapoor. The event saw a select gathering and performance by pop singer Agnes Chan, besides an interaction with the Japanese press. Sri and the First Lady also exchanged gifts, apart from discussing cinema and how Bollywood films were gaining popularity in Japan.
Says a source, “Mrs Abe seemed very touched by the emotional quotient of the film. Her eyes were moist when she was leaving."

Sridevi's Japanese look in Roop Ki Rani to be used to promote English Vinglish's Japanese version

Sridevi’s comeback film English Vinglish will release on May 27 all
over Japan in Japanese. And we aren’t talking about the original film
being subtitled in Japanese. English Vinglish will now be dubbed into
Japanese. So we’ll get to hear the actress speaking Japanese on screen
for the first time.But the best is yet to come. Sridevi’s producer-husband Boney Kapoor has agreed to let the film’s producers Eros International use footage of Sridevi from his mammoth 1993 production Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja dressed as a traditional Japanese woman in a kimono and with make-up that made her look strikingly Japanese. Confirming this Boney says, “Yes, there is a section in Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja where Sri was dressed up as Japanese girl. I’ve offered to let the producers use those images of Sri to promote the film’s release in Japan.”
Sridevi is ecstatic about the impact that English Vinglish is having. It has been released in Germany, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and now in Japan.
