As the successful run of his new film continues, we can’t forget his epic ‘Baahubali’ Which will always be evergreen for the Indian audience. However, did you know that the director of the legendary masterpiece had an ugly feud with the late actress Sridevi During the release of ‘Baahubali’? To give a little background, Sridevi was first offered the role of Sivagami in the Prabhas-starrer. However, due to some reasons, the late actress declined the role, which later went to South actress Ramya Krishnan. Rajamouli later claimed that it was due to his starry demands and financial expectations, that he rejected the role of Sivagami in ‘Baahubali’. This revelation of the filmmaker left Sridevi upset and angry. The actress then opened up on Rajauli’s lewd comments about her in an interview with a publication. Sridevi said, “Firstly, I can’t believe that he (Rajamouli) would talk like this. Secondly, I am not going to make any kind of demands. Whatever happened with Baahubali is in the past. Why are we talking about it now? There are so many roles that I’ve turned down in the past. I think it’s very rude to talk about films you don’t do.” Eventually, SS Rajamouli realized his mistake about the comments he made on Sridevi. The Baahubali filmmaker then insisted that people were manipulating her words and that he had a lot of respect for the great actress. During an interaction, the filmmaker said, “As far as whose version to believe is concerned, I think it is for the people to decide. But one thing is for sure. I shouldn’t have discussed the details in a public forum. It is a mistake. And I’m sorry.” For more news and updates, stay tuned to ETimes.
