Alia Bhatt has some interesting projects in her kitty right now and one of them is SS Rajamouli’s RRR. The film, which also stars Ram Charan, Jr NTR, and Ajay Devgn, is one of the most awaited films of the year.
On 15th March 2021, Alia will celebrate her 28th birthday, and the makers of RRR are all set to unveil the actress’ first look from the film.
The official Instagram handle of the movie posted, “Meet our #Sita in all her glory. ✨ First look of @aliaabhatt will be revealed on March 15, 11 AM. #RRRMovie #RRR.”
Alia plays the role of a girl named Sita, and reportedly the actress has an extended cameo in the film. She had started shooting for the film in December 2020.
When Alia had joined the team, the makers had posted, “A very warm welcome to our dearest #Sita, the supremely talented and beautiful @aliaabhatt on to the sets of #RRRMovie! ?❤️#AliaBhatt #RRR.”
RRR is a Telugu movie but it will be dubbed and released in various languages including Hindi. It is touted as one of the biggest pan-India films of the year.
Talking about other films of Alia, the actress has movies like Brahmastra, Gangubai Kathiawadi and Darlings. She was also supposed to star in Karan Johar’s Takht, but the film has been delayed. Reportedly, Karan will be first directing a love story starring Ranveer and Alia, but the movie is not yet officially announced.
Production houses confirm three-way collaboration between Mehta, Pellissery, and Rahman
Film currently in casting stage with shooting planned later this year
Pellissery's track record suggests an unconventional take on the romance genre
Rahman returns to work with Mehta after their Gandhi series collaboration
Project marks Pellissery's first major crossover into Hindi film circles
Wait, read that again. Hansal Mehta's production is backing a romantic drama from Lijo Jose Pellissery. And AR Rahman? He's building the entire soundscape for it. The combination feels almost unreal, right? It's like three separate rivers of filmmaking talent suddenly crashing into one project.

What's the actual plot of this pellissery film?
They're keeping story details locked down tight. The official line calls it a "lyrical exploration of love," which sounds nice but means very little coming from a director known for chaotic chases and funeral processions that spiral into madness. The script comes from Pellissery and writer Karan Vyas. Given Pellissery's history, expect something raw and unpredictable rather than rose-tinted. His approach to human relationships typically involves peeling back layers until things get messy.
Look at their backgrounds. Mehta built his name on biographical dramas and sharp social commentary. Pellissery operates in his own cinematic universe where conventional rules do not apply. Rahman's involvement guarantees the music will be another character entirely. Sahil Saigal from Mehta's production company called it "momentous" and for once that does not sound like empty producer talk. This feels like one of those projects that could actually shift how Indian films get made.
No confirmed release window yet; these things take time, especially with directors as particular as Pellissery. The production houses involved are Mehta's True Story Films and Amen Movie Monastery. This also marks the second time Rahman and Mehta have worked together after finishing their Gandhi series, which premiered at Toronto last year.
