RRR is based on the fictional story of two revolutionaries from pre-independence era, set in 1920. While Jr NTR features as revolutionary tribal leader Komaram Bheem, actor Ram Charan has been cast as revolutionary Alluri Sitarama Raju. As is tradition, on Ram Charan's birthday in March, his character Sitarama Raju was introduced in a fierce avatar with this poster:

Bravery, honour and integrity.
A man who defined it all!
It's my privilege to take on the role of #AlluriSitaRamaraju 🔥#RRR #RRRMovie @ssrajamouli @tarak9999 @ajaydevgn @aliaa08 @oliviamorris891 @RRRMovie @DVVMovies pic.twitter.com/QLxv2HnACB

RRR is special on various levels - other than casting the two superstars together, this film also stars Bollywood actors Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn. Alia Bhatt has been roped in to play the role of Sita, Ram Charan's love interest while Jr NTR's Komaram Bheem will fall in love with Jennifer, a character played by actress Olivia Morris. Ajay Devgn will reportedly play onscreen mentor to Ram Charan and Jr NTR's characters.

After months of lockdown, Baahubali director Rajamouli resumed the shooting schedule of RRR in November last year. The film was initially supposed to hit screens in January this year but was postponed because of the pandemic. RRR is all set to hit screens on October 13, 2021.
