Veteran actress Sridevi has said she was ‘shocked, hurt and upset’ by Baahubali director SS Rajamouli’s accusation of her ‘exorbitant demands and starry behaviour’ over rejecting the role in the Baahubali: The Conclusion.

The controversy erupted a few days back when in an interview Rajamouli said that his team was fortunate to drop the idea of giving role to Sridevi due to her unreasonable demands.

Sridevi finally broke the silence on a Telugu channel, saying, “I was shocked and hurt by his interview. Rajamouli is a calm and dignified person. In was very happy to work with him. But, the way he spoke about the issue made me feel very sad.”
