Madhoo as Sivagami

The Baahubali craze has done something unexpected by taking two feature film actresses to television. While Karthika Nair, daughter of yesteryear actress Radha is playing Devasena in a spin off series of Baahubali called Aarambh, the latest is that Madhoo is set to reprise the role of Ramya Krishna’s Sivagami in the series.

Interestingly, Ramya and Madhoo have been great friends ever since they co-starred in the blockbuster film Allari Priyudu. “Goldie Behl played a key role in roping in the actress for the series. She wasn’t quite sure of making her TV debut but he convinced her that this was the perfect role to consider,” reveals a source close to the series’ writer, Vijayendra Prasad.
