It features Jr NTR and Ram Charan in the lead roles. The film released in Telugu along with Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada versions.

Speaking about Ram Charan’s action packed intro scene in the film, Rajamouli had told IANS, “Ram Charan’s intro was one of the scariest shots in ‘RRR’. It has people as many as 1,000 marching towards Ram Charan, ready to attack him. That shot was so high-voltage, just to imagine. That adrenaline rush when 1,000 people gang up against one guy, is emoted with such a great effort. I was scared during the shot, as Ram Charan wasn’t visible in the dust and among 1,000 people. But, thank goodness, he completed the shot unscathed.”
