Shooting for the project resumed after close to eight months on 6 October. The makers subsequently completed a 50-day major action sequence which they shot without a break. 

The fictional epic, which is being made on a lavish budget, is set in the 1920s and is based on the lives of two revolutionaries — Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem.

The project, which also stars  Ajay Devgn, Shriya Saran and Samuthirakani, marks the maiden collaboration of Jr NTR and Ram Charan. They’re rumoured to be playing brothers in the movie, which will be released in five languages.

RRR, which will be released in five languages, is expected to hit the screens worldwide this October. The makers are yet to officially announce the release date.
