Recently, a video of an action sequence with Jr NTR getting down from a bus and riding a bike with Charan as the pillion rider was leaked online . Rajamouli had earlier  revealed that the two actors will be seen as real heroes and well-known revolutionaries — Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem. “This will be a fictional story on the lives of Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem. There are gaps in the lives of these legendary freedom fighters that we don’t know about. We don’t know what happened in their lives in these years. It is through this fictional story we’d like to show what could have happened in their lives and what would have happened if they met and bonded,” the filmmaker had said. Besides NTR and Charan, Ajay Devgn, Samuthirakani and Alia Bhatt will also be seen in pivotal roles. RRR, which has a massive budget of Rs 300 crores, will open in theatres in ten Indian languages worldwide on 30 July, 2020.
