New schedule of Rajamouli’s RRR begins; makers erect giant set for action sequence

Nearly two years after the release of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017), director SS Rajamouli is finally ready with his next project – a yet-untitled Telugu multi-starrer film with Ram Charan and Jr NTR, who are teaming up for the first time. The project, which was officially launched on 11 November in Hyderabad, went on the floors in December in a special set erected on a budget on whopping Rs5 crore.

Actors Ram Charan and NTR are believed to be playing brothers in this rumoured boxing-based drama, which will be bankrolled by DVV Entertainments on a whopping budget of Rs300 crore.

After a brief break, the makers on Monday, 21 January, commenced shooting the second schedule of the project. The announcement was made via a tweet from the film’s official Twitter handle.

Apparently, the makers have erected a giant set to shoot some action sequence in this schedule. Last April, in a media interaction, producer DVV Danayya had said that the film will be a visual treat. He had also added that the estimated budget of the film will be Rs300 crore. The makers, who have extremely tight-lipped so far, are yet to reveal the rest of the cast details.

While MM Keeravani will compose music, cinematographer Senthil Kumar has been roped in to crank the camera. The film’s story has been penned by Rajamouli’s father Vijayendra Prasad, the man behind blockbusters such as Baahubali franchise and Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015). Well-known production designer Sabu Cyril will take care of the sets.
