Rajamouli returns to sets to begin shooting RRR, teases fans with video

Filmmaker SS Rajamouli on Tuesday teased fans with a video highlighting the resumption of the shooting for his Telugu magnum opus RRR. The teaser gives us a glimpse of the crew returning to shoot the project in Hyderabad on Monday after many months.

“Life has already become a new normal. We have to adapt to it and move on. And so our shoot resumes (sic),” Rajamouli tweeted.

Though filming for the project is underway, Ram Charan and Jr NTR are not likely to join the sets immediately, and the team will shoot crucial scenes with the rest of the actors.

Ram Charan will join the sets only after he completes shooting his portion for upcoming Telugu film Acharya, which stars his father Chiranjeevi in the lead. Ram Charan will be seen playing an extended cameo in the film.

The video further confirmed that a teaser will be unveiled on October 30 to introduce Jr. NTR’s character of Bheem from the film.

RRR, a fictional story set in the 1920s, is based on the lives of two well-known revolutionaries, Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem.  

Presented by D Parvathy, the film is being produced under the DVV Entertainments banner by DVV Danayya and will be released in ten Indian languages next year.

The film also stars Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt and Samuthirakani in key roles. Both Devgn and Bhatt will be making their Telugu debut with this project. Recent reports indicate that Devgn plays the mentor of Jr NTR and Ram Charan in a flashback episode. Shriya Saran has been roped in for the project and will be reuniting with Devgn after Drishyam (2015).
