Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma tweeted that if actress Sridevi had played the role of Queen Sivagami in film franchise 'Baahubali', she would've got more credit than actor Prabhas. Varma further tweeted, "What a super outstanding film it would've been for her illustrious career." Reports suggest that Sridevi was approached for the role, but wasn't cast as she demanded ₹6 crore.
