S.S. Rajamouli and Sridevi indulge in a war of words

S.S. Rajamouli and Sridevi indulge in a war of words 


A few days ago, director of the Baahubali series, S.S. Rajamouli disclosed some rather revealing information regarding actress Sridevi not being a part of his reputed franchise. Though he looked calm and composed, his statements were alarmingly close to taking a dig on the Moondram Pirai actress' renumeration demands. Added to this the host of the show (who goes by RK) seemed to insinuate the director even more by questioning Sridevi's acting skills and calling the director lucky that she did not accept that part. Rajamouli is seen happily agreeing to it. 

The interview has become sensational ever since and now the actress has lashed back with a counter-interview. A visibly upset actress is seen making the following statements in them :

“..There are rumours that I asked about Rs 10 crore for the role, including an entire floor in a hotel and 10 flight tickets etc...I have been in the industry for about 50 years and acted in more than 300 films. Do you think I could have accomplished all of this by making such demands?” 

“People in the industry would have sent me packing if I was like that. But, when you hear such things about yourself, you really get hurt. I don’t know if the producer wrongly told Rajamouli that I made all these demands or there could have been some miscommunication. I think it is not in good taste to speak on a public platform like this,”

“I never took anything about this matter to the heart. But, I saw a Rajamouli interview and I was shocked and hurt by it. I have heard about Rajamouli, he is a calm and dignified person. I have seen his movie Eega and was very happy to work with him. He is a great technician but the way he spoke about the issue made me feel very sad,”
