Leave criticism aside, why would an experienced and talented artiste like Sridevi will reject Sivagami role in Baahubali and pick that Yavana Rani role in Puli? Let’s put thins from Sridevi’s perspective. Speaking frankly, the character of ‘Yavvana Rani’ in “Puli” offered many more shades to perform for any actress rather ‘Sivagami’ role in Baahubali. In that Queen character, Sridevi got to show her cruel side, cunning emotions, terrific body language as a witch-craft lady.
In Sivagami, we have only that ‘royalness’ and loud dialogue delivery, but Puli’s Queen is stuffed with various shades. And that final fight of Sridevi with Vijay, almost made Sri a top villain fighting for own cause. Still, this role didn’t clicked and people are nailing Sridevi’s decision of rejecting Baahubali and picking up Puli.
Though Puli’s Yavana Rani is powerful than Sivagami on paper, all those shades, emotions and depth will connect to audiences only if director etches the role perfectly. While Rajamouli etched a superior character out of an ordinary writing, director Chimbudevan failed to do justice to a powerful Queen role. So, Sridevi made a right decision but it’s her director’s story telling that spoiled the show.
