Raghavendra Rao and K. Bappaiah. In 1978, she starred in her first Hindi film, Solva Saawan. In her second movie, Himmatwala, she starred opposite Jeetendra. The film went on to be a blockbuster and established Sridevi as a star in Bollywood. The Jeetendra Sridevi pair also delivered more hits like Tohfa, Mawaali and Justice Chaudhury. In 1983, she starred opposite Kamal Hasan in the drama Sadma, remade from the Tamil hit Moondram Pirai starring the same lead actors.

The same year, Sridevi also received a nomination for Yash Chopra's Chandni.[7] The songs and dances of the film became a rage while Sridevi's white costumes started a trend called the Chandni Look in North India. Chopra again directed her in 1991's Lamhe, where she plays a double-role act as mother and daughter. Lamhe won her a second Hindi Filmfare Best Actress Award.
Right after, Sridevi starred opposite Amitabh Bachchan in 1992's Khuda Gawah, where she had a double role as a pining Afghan wife getting her another Filmfare nomination.
