UNLUCKY ACTORS who rejected Baahubali without realizing its potential!!!
Sources have stated that previously the role of Sivagami was offered to Sridevi but Ramya Krishnan was brought on board after the former quoted unreasonable remuneration. Mollywood's 'Complete Actor' Mohanlal would have brought immense value to the character of Kattappa if he took up the chance offered by Rajamouli. Sathyaraj however has done full justice to the vision of Rajamouli.
Any actress other than milky beauty Tamannah in the role of Avantika is very difficult after swooning over the 'Pachabottesina' song on big screen. But, in reality, audacious Bollywood beauty Sonam Kapoor was first offered the character of Avantika. Nayanthara was the first choice of Rajamouli to essay the role of Devasena. As Nayanthara rejected to allot bulk dates, Rajamouli signed Anushka instead.
According to media reports, when Rajamouli wanted
to make Baahubali, taking the film's huge budget into account, he wanted to
cast a Bollywood star in lead role. Hrithik was the first choice but the actor
reportedly turned down the film as he didn't realize the film's scale and
Rajamouli's vision.
This 'Raktha Charithra', star was also offered the role of Bhallaladeva after John Abraham rejected it. Baahubali fans will surely thank the almighty for making him reject the role. His screen presence wouldn't have been as menacing as Rana Daggubati's.
