Srihari says that he was really upset when he saw the first print of Magadheera as most of his scenes (Solman) were deleted. He said that he has worked so hard for a great movie like Magadheera in Rajamouli's direction. He said that he knew that the scenes were deleted one day before the release from the director and he was really happy about Rajamouli's gesture of telling him about this. Srihari also says that he asked Rajamouli to do what ever he thinks is better for the movie but was upset inside.

Srihari says that his Solman character adds a lot to the movie and he also fought with the director and producers for adding those scenes after the release. He says that the producer has promised him on his birthday that those scenes will be added after some time. Now he thinks that Magadheera is a complete movie after adding those scenes and he is really happy about that.

Srihari's character as Sherkhan got a very good response in the movie and Srihari hopes the same for the Solman's character after 50 days.
