RRR marks the maiden collaboration of Ram Charan and Jr NTR, who are rumoured to be playing brothers in the movie, which also stars Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt, Shriya Saran and Samuthirakani.

RRR, which is being made on a lavish budget, will be a fictional story set in pre-independent India and it will be based on the lives of two renowned revolutionaries,  Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem. 

The makers of RRR unveiled the first glimpse of Ram Charan’s character via a special video in March 2020. The video introduces Ram Charan as Alluri Seetharamaraju, and going by his khaki pants, it can be assumed that he plays a cop.

Last November, a video was released to introduce Jr. NTR’s character of Komaram Bheem.

RRR, which will be released in five languages, is tipped to be India’s next big film after the Baahubali franchise.
