Sridevi Shocked By Rajamouli's Interview, Says Didn't Leave Baahubali For Money

Darpan News Desk IANS, 27 Jun, 2017 01:37 PM

    Contrary to popular belief, Sridevi says that she would have been 'happy' to work with Baahubali director S S Rajamouli, who is believed to have offered the role of Queen Mother Sivagami to Sridevi before casting Ramya Krishnan.

     

    Last month, S S Rajamouli claimed on a regional TV chat show that Sridevi's refusal to star in his film turned out for the best.

     

    Times Of India quoted him as having said, "After hearing series of wishes from her (Sridevi), our team got fed up. We also thought that it would be above our budget to meet her demands. Then we approached Ramya Krishnan and she proved herself fantastic and we now feel, we were lucky that we dropped the idea of having Sridevi in our film."

     

    Speaking to NTV Telugu, Sridevi said, "I was shocked and hurt by his interview. Rajamouli is a calm and dignified person. I was very happy to work with him. But, the way he spoke about the issue made me feel very sad."

     

     

    All sorts of rumours abound about why Sridevi rejected the role of Sivagami, from reports that she asked for a salary of Rs. 6 crore to allegedly asking for the use of an entire floor of a five-star hotel.

     

    Speaking to NTV Telugu, Sridevi said, "People would have sent me packing if I was like that. I don't know if the producer wrongly told Rajamouli that I made all these demands, but it is not in good taste to speak like this."

     

    Baahubali: The Conclusion released two months ago to tremendous numbers, shattering several box office records at home and abroad.
