Actress Ramya Krishnan has been receiving a lot of praise for her splendid performance in S S Rajamouli's Baahubali. However, it appears that she wasn't the first choice for the film. According to sources, Rajamouli was keen on getting Sridevi to play the role of Sivagami. But Sridevi demanded a whopping Rs 6 crore to do the film! Apparently, Rajamouli was taken aback. Although the salary is on par with what many heroes in the south demand, considering that the big budget film focused on Prabhas and Rana Daggubati, the remuneration Sridevi asked for was too high.
