We have reported that Jagapathi Babu is not doing Mahesh Babu and Anil Ravipudi’s ‘Sarileru Neekevvaru’. But the actor got miffed with reports in various media outlets. Some construed it as he was sent away. This has infuriated him.
 
Jagapathi Babu says it was he who refused to do the film after the makers had special requests him to be dropped off the project. Both Dil Raju and Mahesh Babu asked him to give the role to Prakash Raj who has been struggling to find big movies. Then Jagapathi Babu has decided to drop off from the project but the reports in the media painted a different picture and he’s not happy with the developments.
 
He is in particular angry with director Anil Ravipudi for spreading wrong information to the media.
 
Jagapathi Babu is one of the busiest character actors or villains in South India. He charges high remuneration as well.
