Actress Sridevi, who made an impressive comeback with 'English Vinglish' last year, is in no mood to do 'supporting roles'.
"There are lot of offers coming my way. I am going through stories....You all will come to know about my next soon," Sridevi told PTI.
"It should excite me. When I read a script I should feel this is something I should do," she said.
'English Vinglish' saw Sridevi in the lead role of a housewife struggling with English.
"Why should I do supporting roles?" she shot back to a query.
Replying to a question about rumours that she was doing a project with Prabhu Deva, the diva said "he is great actor, choreographer and director. I would love to work with him. But as of now, there is nothing happening," she said.
Prabhu's directorial debut in Bollywood, 'Wanted', was produced by Sridevi's husband Boney Kapoor.
