RRR is a pure fiction that has been drafted on the idea of them meeting each other in Delhi and later becoming friends during their away time. Set in 1920s, the film will have a British regime including then culture and lifestyle. It is a pan Indian story painted on a large canvas.

"Working with Rajamouli sir is a big tick off my bucket list. Also to be alongside Ram Charan and Jr NTR is an absolute honour. I am very excited about this experience and also working in the south for the first time," Alia said in a statement.
Though based on the nationalistic characters, RRR is not a patriotic story and will not have any chauvinistic elements in it. It is a befitting tale of two intense people with intense emotions and has a 300 crore budget.
The cast of the film includes Daisy Edger Jones, the British actress of Cold Feet and Silent Witness Fame; as one of the two leading ladies accompanied by Ajay Devagn, a celebrated Bollywood hero known for his action sequences; and Samutra Khani, playing significant roles.
