This is when S.S. Rajamouli plans to launch his next RRR

After the earth-shattering success of Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) and Baahubali: The Conclusion (2017), fans of ace filmmaker S.S. Rajamouli are waiting for his next directorial venture with bated breath. Tentatively titled RRR, the movie is being touted as the biggest multi-starrer in Tollywood as it stars Jr NTR and Ram Charan in lead roles.

According to a teaser released by the DVV Entertainments, RRR, which is a period drama set to be made on a huge scale, will have its launch ceremony on November 11 at 11 am.


"The pre-production work has already begun. The art department has commenced work on erecting sets where a crucial portion of the film will be shot. The estimated budget of the film will be Rs. 300 crore,” a source informs.

Another source says, “Rajamouli’s father and writer Vijayendra Prasad has penned a gripping drama that’ll show both the stars, Charan and Jr NTR, in a new light without affecting their respective market images. Since the director has earlier worked on themes like rebirths and on period dramas, it’ll be interesting to see how he gives a different spin to this period drama.”

While Jr NTR and Ram Charan have been confirmed for the project long ago, the makers are yet to announce the name of the female leads. We hope that on November 11, they also announce the name of the film’s heroines.

Author Chetan Bhagat says the obsession with fame is harming Bollywood actors' mental health

Highlights:

  • Bhagat says some stars can’t enjoy meals if not photographed.
  • Author calls Bollywood a “drug house of fame.”
  • He left movies to focus on writing and moved to Dubai.
  • Sees industry as insecure, with friendships mostly transactional.
  • Believes creating stories gives him more satisfaction than films.

Chetan Bhagat says fame in Bollywood can take a serious toll on mental health. The bestselling author, whose novels like 3 Idiots and Kai Po Che! became major films, explained that many actors and directors struggle when their work doesn’t succeed. “There are actors who, when going to a restaurant, if they aren’t recognised, don’t enjoy the meal. They wonder, ‘No one came to click photos?’ Can you imagine what a sick life that is?” he said.

Bhagat added that the pressure of attention and constant public scrutiny can worsen insecurity. He recalled seeing stars fade over time, their mental health affected by the highs and lows of fame.
