Filmmaker SS Rajamouli became a household name after the release of Baahubali franchise. Moviegoers are excited for his next film titled RRR which stars N. T. Rama Rao Jr., Ram Charan, Alia Bhatt, and Ajay Devgn.
While the shooting of the film has been going on from the past few months, Ajay Devgn has joined the team today. The makers took to Instagram to inform everyone about it. They posted, "All of us are super charged and ecstatic to kickstart our schedule with @ajaydevgn ji today... Welcome Sir! #AjayDevgn #RRRMovie #RRR.”
Well, it is said that Ajay will be seen in an extended cameo in the film. However, we are sure that the actor’s role will be a pivotal one as Rajamouli won’t waste an actor like Ajay Devgn in a movie.
Reportedly, even Alia Bhatt plays a small role in the film. In an interview, with an entertainment portal, Alia had stated, "After I was launched by Karan Johar I had two dream directors on my wish list. Sanjay Leela Bhansali and SS Rajamouli. I don't care about the length of my role in RRR. Just working with him is enough. I've taken lessons in Telugu to do this film. Can't say I speak the beautiful language like a native. But I am trying."
The movie is set in the pre-independence era. While talking about the film Rajamouli had earlier stated, “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.”
RRR is slated to release in July this year, but recently there were reports that it will get postponed. However, the makers haven’t given any confirmation of the film getting delayed.

INDIA head coach Gautam Gambhir declined to discuss the 2027 World Cup prospects of senior players Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, saying it was too early to look that far ahead despite acknowledging their quality.
Both players now feature internationally only in the 50-over format, but India appear to be managing a gradual transition rather than making sudden changes.
Rohit, who led India to the Champions Trophy title earlier this year, has been replaced by Shubman Gill as captain of the one-day side for the upcoming Australia tour.
Rohit and Kohli, with a combined total of 567 ODIs, have both been included in the three-match series against Australia, though their future beyond the tour remains uncertain.
"Look, the 50-over World Cup is still two-and-a-half years away, and I think it is very important to stay in the present," Gambhir told reporters after India completed a Test series sweep against West Indies on Tuesday.
"Obviously, they are quality players, they are coming back, their experience is going to be a handful in Australia as well.
"Hopefully, those two guys will have a successful tour, and more importantly, as a team, we will have a successful series."
Rohit, who captained India to the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup, will turn 40 by the time the next edition takes place, which will be co-hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. Kohli, a member of India’s 2011 World Cup-winning squad, is a year younger.
All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja’s future in the format is also uncertain. The 37-year-old, part of the recent Champions Trophy-winning team, has been left out of the ODI squad for Australia.
Jadeja said the selectors had explained the reasons behind his omission and that he would stay prepared for future opportunities.
"It is a good thing that they communicated the reason behind my omission," Jadeja said during the second Test against West Indies.
"But whenever I get a chance next, I will try and do what I have done all these years.
"Winning a World Cup is everyone's dream. We had narrowly missed out the last time, the next time we will try and make up for it."
