OMG! RAMYA KRISHNAN'S ROLE WAS INITIALLY OFFERED TO THIS LADY SUPERSTAR?

OMG! Ramya Krishnan's role was initially offered to this Lady Superstar?

Ramya Krishnan who played the role of Sivagami in Baahubali did absolute justice to the character. But, do you know the character initially went to Lady Superstar Sridevi? Yes, if sources are to be believed SS Rajamouli approached Sridevi for the Sivagami character, and it is believed due to high remuneration the producers had to give up on Sridevi.

 

Sivagami character had a substantial impact on the film, it was both critically acclaimed and loved by the fans. But, what if Sridevi would have done that role? It would have been a perfect film after English Vinglish for her. Well, all that we can say is Sridevi missed being part of such a prestigious film while Ramya Krishnan just grabbed the opportunity to the fullest.

"I CAN'T KEEP ASKING AJITH AGAIN AND AGAIN" - UDHAYANIDHI STALIN

Red Giant Movies is one among the top production banners in Tamil Nadu right now. They made big films with stars like Kamal Haasan, Vijay and Suriya. One top star that they would like to produce a film with, would be Ajith. Udhayanidhi Stalin, the founder of Red Giant Movies, talks to Behindwoods about when he will produce a film with Ajith Kumar.

 

“If Ajith calls me, I am ready to start the project even tomorrow. But everything needs to fall into place. I have met him in the past regarding this. He told me that he would call me when the time comes and we could do a film in the future. I planned an idea and approached him again; I got the same reply. I can’t keep asking him again and again, right? So if he calls me, the next minute, we could start the project.” - Udhayanidhi Stalin

Bad News : Baahubali 2 shows stopped in this country!

Baahubali 2 is having a phenomenal run at the worldwide box office including USA, UK, Dubai and other countries.

 

But reports started to come in claiming that the screening of Baahubali 2 in gulf countries is going to be stopped by tonight. When we contacted the Gulf distributor of Baahubali 2, he was unavailable to comment.

 

However, we got in touch with VOX Cineplex, one of the most popular theatres in Dubai. One of the representatives from VOX confirmed that the issue is true. He said, "Yes, the issue is only with the three languages, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam. The Hindi version will run as per plans. We will stop screening from tomorrow as there are some technical issues, and the last show will be today. The shows might be resumed only after the technical glitches are sorted out."

 

We hope the issue is solved as soon as possible as the film is doing great business even in foreign markets.

THROWBACK : THIS ACTRESS FOUGHT WITH PRABHAS AND THEY BOTH STOPPED TALKING!

Throwback : This actress fought with Prabhas and they both stopped talking!

Prabhas, the most happening star at present, is celebrating the success of Baahubali 2. The movie has already grossed 1000 crore and is the first Indian film to do so. On the other hand, we get to see a video of Kangana Ranaut confessing that she used to quarrel a lot with Prabhas when they both did 'Ek Niranjan', in a lighter note.

 

At a time, when Prabhas is riding on a popularity wave, this throwback comes to us as a surprise. Kangana in the video, when asked by a reporter about Prabhas, says that they both used to fight a lot on the sets of 'Ek Niranjan' and also stopped talking with each other. However, she also said she watched Baahubali and was proud of Prabhas for his hard work in the film.

 

We do not know the reason for the fight between the two stars but, all that we hope is to see them coming together again to entertain the masses.
