Differences between Sridevi, Jayaprada

Senior director Bapayya speaking to scribes showered praises on Sridevi. He said Sridevi was an extraordinary actress and used to behave in a dignified manner. He said " I did 16 films with her, of them two of them didnot get released. I did Guru sishyulu for the first time with Sridevi. It also starred ANR,Krishna and Sujatha. Later I did NTR's Aggiravva, Mundadugu. I later did many Hindi films. For the first time I did Mawali for Padmayala in Hindi. All films like Maqsad,Sonepe Suhag are big hits. In Mundadugu and Maksad Sridevi and Jayaprada were the heroines. For unknown reasons, they used to be poles apart. We tried a lot to unite them. During Maqsad making, Rajesh Khanna and Jitendra united them. However things returned back to square one with in two to three days. However they used to be normal infront of the camera. They used to compete with each other and Sridevi used to dominate. She used to do any role with ease in front of the camera. "

He continued saying " In Krishna's Jayam Manade court scene,she for some reasons took many takes and told that she will do in the afternoon. As promised she completed in the afternoon. In Maqsad, her knees got damaged while doing the snake dance. When we gave her knee caps,she faced trouble in using them,but she never compromised n her dance. After this film, Nagini came three years later.
