Starring Ram Charan and Jr NTR, RRR will narrate the stories of well-known revolutionaries — Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem. Rajamouli has also written the film, which also has Ajay Devgn, Samuthirakani and  Alia Bhatt  (in her Telugu cinema debut).

“I’m not going to reveal what we all know about Komaram Bheem and Alluri Sitarama Raju. There were no details about a few years of their lives in authentic books and history. My film is a fictitious take on what if these two freedom fighters met, interacted and fought for a common cause,” Rajamouli had previously told Firstpost .

RRR, which reportedly has a massive budget of Rs 300 crores, will open in theatres in 10 Indian languages worldwide on 30 July, 2020. The film will release in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam and other Indian languages. RRR was  launched  in November 2018, with the cast of the film attending the event along with Chiranjeevi and Raghavendra Rao.
