Actress Sridevi Rejected To Play The Role Of ‘Sivagami’ In Baahubali And Here Is The Reason

No words are enough to portray the success Baahubali has earned. The director is successful in squeezing out the best possible performances from the movie cast. The movie’s sequel now successfully bagged more than Rs 1200 crores out of which the Rs 1000 crores were collected within the first 8 days. Despite the visual effects, storyline and action sequences, the director must be praised for picking up so many elegant actors for the movie.

Baahubali has proved that gone are those days when only the roles of lead actors are important, the way he characterized the actors indicate the necessity of giving the individual space to every role. It must be mentioned that the depiction of Prabhas as Baahubali & Sivudu, Anushka as Devasena, Ramya Krishan as Rajamata Sivagami and Sathya Raj as Kattappa is nerve gripping, the actors were soundly in intensifying the layers of the characters.

In comparison with the prior movie, ‘the conclusion’ has brought the better version of BGM and the best VFX effects, thanks to Senthil Kumar, his outstanding cinematography won’t let you take off your eyes from the screen.

Amidst all those prominent roles the character of Sivagami was so intense that she simply stole the show with that gutsy gait and gallant voice. Post the movie, the actress was widely appreciated for her amazing performance, now viewers can’t imagine any other actor playing that role.

But, surprisingly, Ramya Krishnan was not the only actor asked to play the role, the popular veteran actress Sridevi was approached earlier, the vacancy then gave an opportunity to Ramya Krishnan.

However, till now there’s no reason explained by Sridevi, but a source from Baahubali sets states that Sridevi’s husband and popular Bollywood producer Boney Kapoor has demanded a staggering fee from the Baahubali.

“We respect Srideviji a lot. And yes, she was the first choice for Sivagami. This was very early in the project” it stated.

“When we approached her, her husband, Boney Kapoor, quoted a staggering fee. Plus, he wanted a share of the Baahubali profits. We dropped the idea immediately, though we were very keen on casting Srideviji. Later, we came to know she did a Tamil film (Puli), where she was given the fee that her husband wanted”, the source added.

But what about Ramya Krishnan’s performance? Be it Rajamouli’s efforts or the actress’ in-depth journey into the fictional character, no one can take their eyes off the screen while the valiant Sivagami passes orders. We cannot assume the scales of acting by both the actresses as Ramya Krishnan has left no stone unturned in bringing the ultimate momentum on the screen.
