Shooting for the film had got stalled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown. Alia had only one scene remaining when the pandemic forced the makers to call time on the project. Shooting for the film began after the govermnent relaxed lockdown restrictions. A source speaking exclusively to mid-day said, "Alia had only one scene remaining when the pandemic forced the makers to call time on the project in March. Come the first week of November, she will shoot a major confrontation scene with NT Rama Rao Jr and Ram Charan. The sequence sees the character of Bheem — who had coined the slogan 'Jal, jangal, zameen', thus asserting that people who live in the forest should have a right to its natural resources — having an ideological clash with Sitarama Raju and Alia's character. The scene was to be shot at a bungalow in Pune, but the plan has been changed post the pandemic."
Previously, the makers had released the first look of Ram Charan from the movie and it had set the internet ablaze. Director SS Rajamouli has left no stone unturned to ensure a great experience for fans across the world.
The movie stars Jr NTR, Ram Charan, Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt, Olivia Morris and several others in pivotal roles. RRR is a period drama that narrates a fictional take on the younger days of celebrated freedom fighters Komaram Bheem and Alluri Seetharamaraju.
The film is set for release in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada alongside several other Indian languages. RRR is a pan-India film bankrolled on DVV Entertainments banner by DVV Danayya.
