RRR glimpse: SS Rajamouli promises film is packed with breathtaking visuals

The first glimpse of SS Rajamouli's upcoming magnum opus RRR aka Roudram Ranam Rudhiram (2022) was unveiled today.

The grand visuals and the scale promise that another epic offering is in the pipeline from the director who made the Baahubali films.

Rajamouli took to Twitter to share the video, writing, “Take a peek inside our RRR Movie. Here is the RRR Glimpse.” The tweet confirmed that the film will hit the screens worldwide on 7 January 2022. 

The video opens with a shot of people trying to break down what looks a fence. Next, we get a bird’s-eye view of Jr NTR's Komaram Bheem running in the forest, pursued by a tiger that reappears at the end of the video.

The rest of the video is full of shots that give a sample of the scale of the movie which is rumoured to have been made on a budget of over Rs300 crore.

In the video, Ajay Devgn's character is seen killing a British soldier with a clean head shot. There is also a quick shot featuring Alia Bhatt.

In RRR, Jr NTR shares screen space with Ram Charan for the first time. The film is a fictional tale set in the 1920s and based on the lives of two real heroes and revolutionaries, Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem.

“There are gaps in the lives of these legendary freedom fighters that we don’t know about," Rajamouli had explained at the film's launch in 2019. "Through this fictional story we would like to show what could have happened in their lives and what would have happened if they had met and bonded.”

The film, which will be released in Telugu and dubbed in Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi, also features Samuthirakani and Shriya Saran in important roles.
