After the release of Baahubali, it was revealed that Sridevi rejected the role of Sivagami and Rajamouli himself has said that. Many later said that she missed a good role and opportunity, but the truth is that Ramayakrishna fit the best in the role.
Two years after the release of the film, Rajamouli is doing RRR and it is heard that the director has approached Sridevi’s daughter Jhanvi Kapoor to play a key role in RRR and the latest we hear is that even she too has rejected the project.
A few have said that at least Sridevi’s daughter should have accepted the role and the offer.
However, the young heroine refused to become part of this big project where she would be romancing Jr NTR. Reasons regarding her rejection are not known, but she’s said to have felt that the character will not be giving her enough light like how Ram Charan’s pair Alia Bhatt’s character gets.
