Post the massive success of the Baahubali series director S.S. Rajamouli took about a year before starting work on his upcoming project RRR which stars actor Ram Charan and Jr. NTR (Tarak) as leads. In November, 2018 the first schedule this film was shot for around 10 days and the second schedule began from January 21, 2019.
Now, reports are rife that Tamil actor director Samuthirakani has been roped in to play an important role in this movie along with actress Priyamani. RRR is also in the news for breaking the satellite rights price of the all time highest record holder 2.0, by being picked up for Rs. 132 Cr which is 22 Cr more than what Rajinikanth's film was sold for.
Being made a lavish budget of Rs. 300 Cr, RRR is bankrolled by DVV Entertainement and is one of the few films in India (like Sivakathiekeyan's sci-fi film) to use the Alexa Lf cameras, introduced in India only last year.
