It’s common knowledge by now that Sridevi has chosen Tamil fantasy adventure film Puli over SS Rajamouli’s epic war film Baahubali. Sridevi, who was initially approached for Sivagami character (essayed by Ramya Krishna later) in the film, apparently didn’t take up the film due to low remuneration. Since Vijay’s Puli offered a fancy figure as her fee, Sridevi chose the latter only to regret now.
Puli, which released today,opened to poor to mixed reviews as several critics lashed out at the film’s weak script and film’s characters. Even great fans of her who admired her, loved her have been pointing out at her poor choice.
A self-proclaimed and die-hard fan of Sridevi, none other than director Ram Gopal Varma took to Twitter to express his disappointment. He wrote, “Just saw Puli n am surprised that Sridevi chose this over Bahubali ..I don’t know if it’s her choice or wrong advise but I am sad as a fan.”
