'RRR' is Rajamouli's first film after the blockbuster 'Baahubali' series. Apart from Ajay, it stars Jr NTR, Ram Charan and Alia Bhatt. 

It is a fictional story set in the pre-independent era (1920) and based on the lives of well-known revolutionaries Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem. Jr NTR will be seen as Komaram Bheem while Ram Charan will be playing Alluri Sitharama Raju.

Of the 'RRR', Rajamouli earlier said, "This will be a fictional story on the lives of Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem. There are gaps in the lives of these legendary freedom fighters that we don't know about," news agency IANS reported. 

"We don't know what happened in their lives in these years. It is through this fictional story we'd like to show what could have happened in their lives and what would have happened if they met and bonded," he added.

The first look, featuring Jr NTR and Ram Charan, was released in 2019.
