Mumbai (May 10, 2017): Indeed it is a proud moment for the entire Telugu people and Tollywood for ‘Baahubali’ setting a new bench mark; minting a unimaginable figure of Rs 1000 crore.
‘Baahubali’, which started off as a regional cinema by S S Rajamouli went on to gain international popularity for the high-end production values and its promotional campaign is something that is worth of a serious case study.
Well, the rest is all known and told already, the social media is abuzz with stories about actors who have lost an opportunity to work for the film. Ramya Krishna has gained immense applause for her compelling performance as ‘Rajamata Sivagami Devi’, whose character plays a pivotal role in turning the plot of the movie. But initially, did you know who is the first go-to for the role?
It is none other than our ‘Athiloka Sundari’ Sridevi, whom the director Rajamouli had approached through director Raghavendra Rao. The actress reportedly demanded Rs 5crore for the role which eventually fell in the lap of Ramya Krishna.
