'Alia Bhatt, Ramcharan Teja And NTR Jr Do Not Have A Love Triangle In RRR' Says Baahubali Hitmaker SS Rajamouli - EXCLUSIVE
Baahubali director SS Rajamouli opens up on Alia Bhatt's casting and role in the much-anticipated, RRR.
There are many misconceptions surrounding the Baahubali blockbuster director SS Rajamouli’s RRR. One of them being the nature scope and length of Alia Bhatt’s role. In an interview with me Rajamouli clarified these misconceptions. Says Rajamouli, “I needed an actress who can stand her ground between Tarak(NTR Jr) and Charan(Ramcharan Teja) who are extremely talented actors. Alia is the perfect fit.”
Rajamouli says those expecting to see Alia romancing both the heroes are in for disappointment. “This is not a triangle love story. I wanted Alia because she can be innocent, vulnerable yet be extremely resilient.” The shooting was supposed to happen much earlier but got cancelled due to the pandemic.

Says Rajmouli, “We need to rework the dates and schedules. Looking forward to working with Alia. In large scale films it is very important that there is perfect balance between art and commerce. One cannot be sacrificed for the sake of the other.

The indefatigable actress told me she has been working on her Telugu for some time now. There will also be a voice coach on the set of Rajamouli’s film to guide her.
