RRR Announcement: Baahubali Director SS Rajamouli Confirms 'Massive Multi-Starrer' With Jr NTR and Ram Charan - Watch Video

A couple of months back, SS Rajamouli had shared a picture of him with Telugu superstars Ram Charan and Jr NTR. Though there was no caption to the picture, it was pretty much assumed that these two stars will be the lead in Rajamouli's next. Needless to say, it sent out ripples of excitement for fans of Telugu cinema. SS Rajamouli is now the apple of the eye for all Indian cinema lovers after making the epic Baahubali series. Ram Charan and Jr NTR each own huge massive fan following. So all in all, this was a really cool project if it was ever getting made.

And it is getting made! SS Rajamouli has recently confirmed that this movie, when he retweeted the official handle of his next project, tentatively titled RRR (from the initials of the stars and the director involved). The tweet also included an announcement video and was captioned, "The much awaited confirmation you all have been waiting for since November 18th 2017... Its OFFICIAL.. The Massive Multi Starrer is ON! #RRR .. It's not the TITLE.. Just the TITANS coming together! @ssrajamouli @tarak9999 #RamCharan"

Here's the video,

As per certain gossips, the movie is made on a huge budget, though not on Baahubali levels. There are also reports that both Ram Charan and Jr NTR are playing boxers who are brothers, while Samantha Akkineni is in talks to take on the female lead. Recently Ram Charan and Jr NTR had been to Los Angeles to do a photoshoot for the movie.

A source close to the project told FirstPost, "The US sojourn of NTR and Ram Charan will last for two weeks before they commence shooting for their respective films with directors Trivikram and Boyapati Sreenu. Renowned Hollywood technicians will conduct the look test for both NTR and Ram Charan in the next few days. Rajamouli's son SS Rajamouli will oversee the photoshoot. Rajamouli is planning to wrap up the film before December 2018 and has asked bulk dates of close to four months from both NTR and Ram Charan."
