SS Rajamouli: Even Alia Bhatt is a hero in RRR

SS Rajamouli: Even Alia Bhatt is a hero in RRR

SS Rajamouli’s RRR is one of the most awaited upcoming movies. The film stars Ram Charan, Jr NTR, Ajay Devgn, and Alia Bhatt.

Recently, an event was organised in Mumbai to announce the collaboration between PVR Cinemas and RRR. At the event, when Rajamouli was asked that why there are three heroes in the film and only one heroine, the filmmaker said, “There’s no gender, everyone is a hero. Even Alia is a hero in this film. It is about the friendship of four heroes that you will see on the screen.”


When he was asked about his experience of collaborating with so many superstars in the movie, Rajamouli said, “It was great. I knew them before I worked with them. I knew Ajay sir because he did Son Of Sardaar which was a remake of my Telugu film. I met him during the promotion of my film Makkhi. He was very gracious to do the honour of releasing the trailer back then. So yes, I had an association with them. But, I believe that it’s not because of my friendship things like this happen.”

“When you have a fantastic script and when the actors listen to the script, and they see themselves as the character in the film, then you don’t need your connections and friendships. If the character and script are well-written things will fall into place. That’s what happened with RRR,” he added.

RRR is slated to release on 7th January 2022. The teaser of the movie will be released on 1st November 2021.

Sumukhi Suresh says Hoemonal proves women back bold comedy on their own terms

Sumukhi Suresh Unfiltered: Why women deserve bigger stages as she brings a riskier 'Hoemonal' to London

Highlights:

  • Comedian-creator Sumukhi Suresh frames Hoemonal as a string of lived moments shaped by “hormones” rather than neat narratives.
  • The show has grown in scope since its last London run: larger venues, fuller ambitions and a clearer audience focus on women.
  • Sumukhi discusses risk, crafting unlikeable protagonists (Pushpavalli), founding Motormouth Writers and the practical demands of touring big productions.

Sumukhi Suresh opened Hoemonal by naming the show’s true co-star: hormones. The title, she says, is not a punchline. It works more like a container for all the loose, messy pieces of life that she threads together onstage — the doubts, the desires, the shifts in confidence, and the everyday disorder most women recognise but rarely hear spoken aloud.

Speaking exclusively to Eastern Eye ahead of her London shows, Sumukhi Suresh is direct, thoughtful and quick with her humour, much like she is onstage.
