The latest buzz around the grape vine is that Nithya Menen may have signed up for a role in the upcoming multi starrer RRR. The filmmakers have reportedly approached the actor for a role in the film but she is yet to sign on. The first schedule of the film was shot in Hyderabad while another was completed in Gujarat. The next schedule of this magnum opus will start in Pune, we hear. For now, the shooting of RRR has been put on hold as both its lead stars Jr NTR and Ram Charan Teja are recuperating from the injuries sustained on the sets.

Bollywood actor Alia Bhatt will be making her debut in the southern film circuit with RRR. Playing the role Sita, she will be paired opposite Ram Charan Teja in this film. Earlier, the team had roped in the British actor Daisy Edgar Jones to play another role but she opted out before the shooting of her portions began. Following this, the filmmakers are on the look-out for another foreign actor.

Ram Charan will be playing Alluri Seetharamaraju and Jr NTR will be playing the role of Komaram Bheem in RRR. On the technical crew roped in for the project, we hear that MM Keeravani is on board to compose the tunes and KK Senthil Kumar for cinematography with A Sreekar Prasad roped in for editing. The film is being bankrolled by DVV Dhanayya under his banner DVV Entertainments on a budget of Rs 300 crores. Bollywood actors Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt and Varun Dhawan are playing pivotal roles as well. Earlier, the director had signed up Tamil actor and director Samuthirakani for the film too. 

Last seen in Pranaa, a psychological thriller film directed by V. K. Prakash and written by Rajesh Jayaraman, Nithya Menen has a number of films in her kitty. She is also awaiting the release of her maiden Hindi film. The film is titled Mangal Mission and stars Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan and Sonakshi Sinha in the lead roles. The film is slated for an August 15 release this year.

She has a biopic on the late chief minister of Tamil Nadu J Jayalalitha. Director Priyadarshini, an erstwhile associate of director Mysskin, will be wielding the megaphone for this film. Titled The Iron Lady, it will concentrate on J Jayalalitha’s political journey and the challenges she underwent during her tenure as the CM.
