 "Boney Kapoor reveals why Sridevi rejected SS Rajamouli's 'Baahubali': 'She was being offered lesser money than English Vinglish, the producers lied about...'")
It was widely reported how late actress and superstar Sridevi was the first choice for SS Rajamouli and Prabhas’s Baahubali that came out in 2015 and the second part in 2017. The role later went on to Ramya Krishnan. But why did the superstar reject the role? In an interview with Komal Nahta, Boney Kapoor spilled the beans on the same.
Kapoor revealed, “When he went out of the room, the producers offered her less money than she got for English Vinglish . She wasn’t a struggling actor; you’re getting mileage out of her, which includes some help in both Hindi and Tamil. Why would I want my wife to do that?”
He added, “I think the producers never told Rajamouli about the offer they had made. They told him that she wants the entire floor of the hotel; she wants a certain entourage. The only thing we wanted was for the big shoots to be scheduled during the time when our children had holidays.”
‘The producers were the culprits’
These producers were the culprits who fed Rajamouli with wrong things. He said in an interview what all she wanted, and that is false. This Shobu guy was the one who did this, and maybe he didn’t want to part with that money. To say things like ‘She was being unprofessional’ is wrong.
Sridevi passed away on February 24, 2018, and her untimely death sent shockwaves across the nation. Janhvi Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor & others opened up about how they were dealing with this loss at that time.
Boney Kapoor opened up about her passing away and told The New Indian, “It was not a natural death; it was an accidental death. I had decided not to speak about it because I spoke about it for almost 24 or 48 hours together when I was being investigated and interrogated. In fact, the officers said we had to go through this because there was a lot of pressure from Indian media. And they discovered there was no foul play.”
