Produced by DVV Entertainments on an estimated budget of Rs 450 crore, the Telugu language film is a fictional tale based on the lives of two freedom fighters in the early 20th century— Alluri Sitarama Raju and Kumram Bheem. Jr NTR and Ram Charan play brothers in the modern-day portion of RRR and will be seen as Komaram Bheem and Alluri Sitarama Raju respectively in the period flashback episode.
The film also features Ajay Devgn and Alia Bhatt in important roles, with which they are set to make their debuts in the south. The rest of the cast includes Samuthirakani and Shriya Saran, along with British and Irish actors Olivia Morris, Ray Stevenson and Alison Doody.
