Alia Bhatt For Rajamouli’s RRR?

An oath of secrecy shrouds  S S  Rajamouli’s underproduction film RRR which , we can  very  certainly say, will get  another  title soon.

While the male cast  Ramcharan Teja  and NTR Jr was confirmed  long back, the  female cast has been kept under wraps, not to create mystery but because so far  no leading lady has been finalized. This,given the patriarchal  nature  of  the Indian entertainment industry , should surprise  nobody.

However  it can be revealed now that one of  the heroines is in all likelihood  , going to be the very popular Alia Bhatt.

Says a source in the  know, “Rajamouli’s team  has approached Alia Bhatt through her mentor and godfather  Karan  Johar.”

For those who came   in  late, Karan Johar not only introduced Alia in  Student  Of The Year he  has since then been her mentor guide and philosopher. Johar is the  co-producer  of  RRR and hence has a personal stake  in the  casting.

Apparently another Karan Johar protégée Kiara Advani has also beem approached  to play the second lead  in  RRR.
