Touted as one of the enormous films of the year, SS Rajamouli’s RRR is all set to release in theatres on January 7, 2022. The film stars Jr. NTR and Ram Charan, along with Bollywood actors Alia Bhatt, Ajay Devgn. While the major roles have gone to Jr. NTR and Ram Charan who play Komaram Bheem and Alluri Seetharama Raju, respectively, not much is known about characters played by Alia and Ajay.

In a recent interview with Indian Express, Rajamouli confirms that the roles played by Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgan are cameos yet prominent. Their roles will directly impact the story.  When the filmmaker was asked about their characters and the length of their roles, he said, “A role cannot be based on its length. Both Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn’s roles are very important. If we look at RRR as a body, then Ajay sir’s character in the film is its soul. And we know there are two forces, two powerhouses in the movie, and if there is one person who has to balance them, who has the ability and the strength to contain them, then it is Sita, played by Alia Bhatt.”

He also mentioned, “They are playing cameos in the film, I am not going to cheat the audience about it. In terms of importance, they are equal and sometimes they are more important than the heroes themselves.”

When asked if Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn were cast to attract Hindi speaking audience to the film, to which he said, “No, and I am very sure about it. When I made Makkhi or Baahubali, I never looked for actors to be from other languages to fill in some sort of economic condition. But, it is always about actors fitting the characters convincingly and having personality traits that the characters demand and deserve.”

RRR is a forthcoming Indian Telugu-language period action drama film directed by S. S. Rajamouli. This film is slated to be released on 7th January 2022.
