No shock to see the British hated RRR. Colonists have a tough time reckoning with their colonial historical past https://t.co/Nu6iFNe5kc

RRR director S.S. Rajamouli lately dropped hints a few sequel to his critically acclaimed historic epic action-musical movie.
Whereas screenwriter Vijayendra Prasad and Rajamouli’s father are at the moment laborious at work on the story for the sequel, the director has now revealed to Variety that the sequel will see protagonists Alluri Sitarama Raju (Ram Charan) and Komaram Bheem (N.T. Rama Rao Jr.) taking over British colonisers as soon as once more.
The impetus for the sequel’s plot was spurred by Rajamouli’s cousin M. M. Keeravani, he informed the outlet, including that he requested that his father “instantly sit on it and increase the concept.”
“At current, he’s critically engaged on the story; he’s getting it completed,” Rajamouli shared, including: “However as soon as this script is completed is after we actually look into methods to make it, when to make it, and methods to carry it onto the display screen.”
