Raju is a top official in the British Raj, and his duties include controlling and thrashing the crowd that rebels. Bheem is the leader, who is leading the rebels. Technically, Raju and Bheem are enemies as their loyalties lie in different places. As fate would have it, they both eventually come on the same side of the fight against the British Raj.

There seem to be plenty of elaborately designed moments in the movie that is sure to drive fans into a tizzy.

Set in the 1920s, RRR, which is made at an estimated budget of Rs 350 crore, is a fictional story inspired by Telugu freedom fighters Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem.

While Ram Charan is playing Alluri Sitarama Raju, Jr NTR is essaying the role of Komaram Bheem. The film also stars Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt, Shriya Saran, Olivia Morris, Ray Stevenson and Alison Doody.

The makers have already begun the promotions of RRR across the country. In the coming days, the promotions will intensify as the makers have planned multiple pre-release events in various cities with the cast and crew.

After missing its theatrical release multiple times due to the pandemic, the film is finally set to hit the screens on January 7 worldwide, just a week ahead of the Sankranti festival. The film will clash with several other major blockbusters including Prabhas’ Radhe Shyam and Pawan Kalyan’s Bheemla Nayak, Ajith’s Valimai.
