Here’s @tarak9999as the INTENSE #KomaramBheem from #RRRMovie (sic).” Helmed by SS Rajamouli, RRR is a fictional story set in the 1920s, pre-Independence era, and is based on the lives of two real heroes and well-known Telugu revolutionaries – Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem – played by Ram Charan and Jr NTR respectively.
The film will be released in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu and Malayalam. The period action thriller is produced by DVV Danayya under the banner of DVV Entertainments.

Can’t wait to make this one with the one and only force @tarak9999#NTR31 it is!! Wishing you a safe birthday brother Wishing for a successful collaboration (sic),” Prashanth Neel tweeted on Thursday.
Earlier, Jr NTR, who is recovering from COVID-19, urged fans not to celebrate his birthday this year in view of the coronavirus situation in the country. “Every year, the affection shown by you on the occasion of my birthday is something I truly cherish. But in these challenging times, the biggest gift you can give me is to stay home and follow local lockdown rules.” He added, “Our country is at war with COVID-19. Our medical community and frontline workers are waging a selfless and tireless war. Many people have lost their loved ones and livelihoods. This is not a time for celebration. This is a time for showing our solidarity with those in need.”
