Besides making news for being 'wink girl' Priya Prakash Varrier's Bollywood launchpad, Sridevi Bungalow has hit headlines owing to the controversy surrounding it. After the film's trailer dropped online, Boney Kapoor slapped a legal notice on the makers, alleging that the film appeared to cash in on his late wife and actor Sridevi's untimely death.

While the film's title was a bone of contention, he also questioned the sequence in the trailer that depicted an actor drowning in a bathtub. Arbaaz Khan, who plays a Bollywood superstar in the thriller, says that he agreed to be part of the project only after he was convinced that the makers had honest intentions.
