Just
last
month,
Sridevi
revealed
to
the
media
that
she
was
shocked
to
read
SS
Rajamouli's
interview
in
which
he
had
told
that
the
actress
was
offered
the
role
of
Rajmata
Shivagami
but
they
were
fed
up
with
her
demands.
Now,
in
a
recent
interview
to
a
leading
daily,
SS
Rajamouli
has
said
that
he
could
have
avoided
talking
about
Sridevi.
Read
it
below.
I
Regret
It
''As
for
whose
version
to
believe,
I
guess
it
is
for
people
to
decide.
But
one
thing
is
for
sure.
I
shouldn't
have
discussed
the
details
on
a
public
platform.
That's
a
mistake.
And
I
regret
it.''

at
Sridevi
on
refusing
film
I
Have
Huge
Respect
For
Her
"I
have
huge
respect
for
Sridevi
ji
as
a
flag-bearer
of
the
southern
film
industries
in
Mumbai
for
many
years.
I
wish
her
all
the
best.
And
I
wish
Mom
a
big
success
as
the
trailer
looks
very
intriguing
and
promising.''
What
He
Had
Said
Earlier
Rajamouli
was
speaking
on
a
regional
TV
chat
show,
when
he
said,
"After
hearing
series
of
wishes
from
her
(Sridevi),
our
team
got
fed
up.''
It
Would
Be
Above
Our
Demands
To
Meet
Her
Demands
''We
also
thought
that
it
would
be
above
our
budget
to
meet
her
demands.
Then
we
approached
Ramya
Krishnan
and
she
proved
herself
fantastic
and
we
now
feel,
we
were
lucky
that
we
dropped
the
idea
of
having
Sridevi
in
our
film.''
Sridevi
Was
Shocked
By
His
Interview
To
which
Sridevi
had
told
a
regional
channel,
"I
was
shocked
and
hurt
by
his
interview.
Rajamouli
is
a
calm
and
dignified
person.''
It
Made
Me
Feel
Sad!
''I
was
very
happy
to
work
with
him.
But,
the
way
he
spoke
about
the
issue
made
me
feel
very
sad."
It
Is
Not
In
Good
Taste
''People
would
have
sent
me
packing
if
I
was
like
that.
I
don't
know
if
the
producer
wrongly
told
Rajamouli
that
I
made
all
these
demands,
but
it
is
not
in
good
taste
to
speak
like
this."
