SS Rajamouli’s pan-India film RRR, for which shoot had begun long back now has Alia Bhatt joining the cast.

A few hours back we told you that Alia is in the middle of a long schedule for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi. But had to take a break from Bhansali’s schedule to join S S Rajamouli’s team for her long-pending shooting spell in RRR.
An informed source told SpotboyE.com, “It’s just a 6-day shooting for Rajamouli, and Alia will be done with RRR. She will then return to join the unit of Gangubai Kathiawadi, as Bhansali requires additional dates from her.” Then there is, of course, Alia’s own Pakeezah. Like Kamal Amrohi’s classic, the shooting of Ayan Mukerjee’s Brahmasastra threatens to stretch into years. Says a source, “The project is demanding more and more dates out of Alia, and she meekly complies. Can’t say no to a film whose producer Karan Johar is her godfather, co-star Ranbir Kapoor is the love of her life and director Ayan Mukerjee is her best friend.”
