Alia, Ramcharan & NTR Do Not Have A Love Triangle In RRR,” says Rajamouli

 There are  many misconceptions surrounding the Baahubali blockbuster director S S Rajamouli’s  RRR. One  of them  being the nature  scope and length  of  Alia Bhatt’s  role.

In an  interview with me  Rajamouli clarified  these  misconceptions.

   Says Rajamouli, “I needed an actress who can stand her ground between Tarak(NTR  Jr)   and Charan(Ramcharan  Teja) who are extremely talented actors.Alia  is the  perfect fit.”

 Rajamouli says those expecting to see Alia romancing both  the heroes are in for  disappointment. “This is not a triangle love story. I wanted Alia  because  she can be innocent, vulnerable yet be extremely resilient.”

The shooting  was supposed to happen much earlier  but  got cancelled due to the pandemic. 

Says Rajmouli, “We need to rework the dates and schedules. Looking forward to working with Alia. In large scale films it is very important that there is perfect balance between art and commerce. One cannot be sacrificed for the sake of the other. Yes It is also very good their star status helps the pan India appeal.”

Alia  is  yet to start shooting  for   RRR. She will first  finish all her work  in  Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s  GangubaiKathiawadi  and  then  proceed  to Hyderabad. The  indefatigable actress  told me  she  has  been working on her Telugu for  some time now. There will also be  a voice  coach  on the set of Rajamouli’s  film  to guide her.
