26 Sep 2017

Lately there has been much gloating in the press aboutSridevibeing the first choice for the role ofSivagami. Sources very close to the Bahubali team are extremely miffed by this non-casting news being leaked into the press. Says the source from Bahubali , We respectSridevijia lot. And yes, she was the first choice forSivagami. This was very early in the project. But when we approached her, her husband BoneyKapoorquoted a staggering fee. Plus he wanted a share of the Bahubali profits. We immediately dropped the idea, though we were very keen on castingSrideviji. Later we came to know she did a Tamil film ( Puli ) where she was given the fee that her husband wanted. The source is happyRamyaKrishnanplayed the part. We cant imagine anyone else playing Sivagami. And we feel it is in very bad taste for an actor to talk about a role that he or she did not do. By doing so, the actor who did the role is belittled.
