‘RRR’ is set in the backdrop of 1920s north India under the colonial rule of Britain. It is a fictionalised account of Telugu tribal leaders Alluri Sitarama Raju (played by Ram Charan) and Komaram Bheem (played by Jr NTR). Produced by DVV Danayya, it also features Alia Bhatt, Ajay Devgn, Samuthirakani, Ray Stevenson, Olivia Morris and Alison Doody. In August, Ram Charan and Jr NTR returned to Hyderabad after shooting for SS Rajamouli’s RRR in Ukraine. On August 20, the entire cast and crew took to Instagram to share an adorable video with the director. The team wrapped up a two-week-long song schedule in Ukraine. According to reports, most of the shooting of the film is complete.
