Foreign connection

It has been a phenomenal year for everyone in team RRR with 70 per cent of the shoot already complete. It was exactly a year ago that they started shooting for the film. Starring South superstars NTR and Ram Charan in the lead roles, alongside Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn, the film is a period drama that gives a fictional twist to the lives of the legendary characters of Komaram Bheem and Alluri Seetharama Raju.

Now the team has made it official that British actress Olivia Morris will play the female lead opposite NTR. Actors Alison Doody and Ray Stevenson have also been roped-in to play lead antagonists. Alison is an Irish actress who has been part of films like A View To Kill and Indiana Jones, while Ray Stevenson has appeared in Thor and King Arthur, and other popular TV shows. Directed by S.S. Rajamouli, the film is set to hit the screens in 2020.
