Filmmaker Gauri Shinde says actress Sridevi is the reason she is able to make her second film.

Shinde, who made a promising directorial debut with 2012 movie "English Vinglish," starring the actress, has recently wrapped-up the shoot of her second movie with Alia Bhatt in lead role.

The 41-year-old director said Sridevi is the one who made her believe in herself.

"You will always be my first love. @SrideviBKapoor I learnt so much from. You made me believe in myself and you are the reason I made my second. Thank you," Shinde tweeted.

The "Sadma" star wished good luck to the director for her upcoming project.

"Thank you soooo much @gauris for making me feel good about myself again. I am sure your second one will be better than the first. All the best," Sridevi wrote.

The yet untitled project also stars Shah Rukh Khan in a pivotal role.

Not much is known about the movie which had started shooting in January this year. It is being produced by SRK's Red Chillies Entertainment, Johar's Dharma and Hope Productions.
