Lakshmi Manchu refused Sivagami's role, here's why

Actress Lakshmi Manchu has revealed the reason for rejecting the role of Shivagami, played by Ramya Krishnan in the S S Rajamouli���s 'Bahubali'. She says, "It was Prakash Kovelamudi who spoke to me about playing this role. I spoke to Rajamouli as well. The only thought that was running through my mind was, how can I play the role of Prabhas and Rana's mother? I mean, just look at him! So, I just said no to the film and I have absolutely no regrets for doing that."
