‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’ has taken the country by storm since its release on April 28, and has already amassed over Rs 1000 Crore, thus becoming the highest grossing Indian film. Apart from Prabhas and Rana Daggubati being lauded for their performance, another actor who earned great praise was Ramya Krishnan for playing the queen mother Sivagami. According to reports, Sridevi was initially offered to play the role of the strong and brave royal but she turned down the part, citing remuneration differences. With the phenomenal success of the film, this film will surely feature on Sridevi's list of 'missed opportunities'. Rubbing salt on her wound was filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma who questioned the actress about her decision to decline the offer.
The maverick director took to Twitter questioning Sridevi why she rejected this golden opportunity and added that she would have won more accolades than leading man Prabhas. RGV said, "I really wonder why @SrideviBKapoor did not do Bahubali 2? What a super outstanding film it would have been for her illustrious career. If @SrideviBKapoor did Bahubali2 she would have gotten more credit than Prabhas it being her very next film after English Vinglish.”
In a strange turn of events, fans found themselves agreeing to Varma's tweet. It remains to be seen if Sridevi responds to this in any way.
