Boney Kapoor Says Baahubali Producer Underpaid Sridevi, Misled SS Rajamouli

The claims revisit the Sivagami casting dispute over alleged hotel and entourage demands.

Overview

  • In a new Game Changers interview, Kapoor says Sridevi declined Baahubali after being offered less than her English Vinglish fee.
  • He alleges producer Shobu Yarlagadda failed to relay the actual offer and told SS Rajamouli she demanded a hotel floor and an entourage.
  • Kapoor adds he has a text from Rajamouli stating his respect for Sridevi grew after their conversation.
  • Past interviews are cited where Rajamouli listed Sridevi’s supposed demands; Sridevi publicly denied them and Rajamouli later said he regretted discussing the matter.
  • Coverage notes no rebuttal from the named producer, and recalls that the role of Sivagami went to Ramya Krishnan; Sridevi died in 2018.
