Boney Kapoor moves Madras HC over Sridevi’s Chennai property dispute

Bollywood producer Boney Kapoor has approached the Madras High Court, alleging that three individuals are unlawfully claiming ownership of a Chennai farmhouse that once belonged to his late wife, legendary actor Sridevi.

According to a news report, Boney filed a legal plea detailing what he describes as an attempted “fraud” by the trio. The disputed property, located on East Coast Road (ECR) in Chennai, was reportedly purchased by Sridevi on 19 April 1988, from one M.C. Sambanda Mudaliar. Mudaliar’s



family had mutually divided the property back in 1960, and based on this family arrangement, the actor legally acquired the plot.

However, Boney claims that three individuals, a woman and her two sons, have recently begun asserting legal rights over the land. The woman alleges she is the second wife of one of Mudaliar’s sons, and that she married him in 1975. Boney challenged the legitimacy of this claim, arguing that the man’s first wife was alive until 1999, making the alleged second marriage legally invalid.
