The shooting for ‘RRR’ had commenced long back. However, with the nationwide lockdown, the shooting of the film came to a halt. Post lockdown, a 50-day long shooting schedule with action sequences was completed before Alia Bhatt joined the team for her role as ‘Sita’ in ‘RRR’.

The caption read, “t #Sita, the supremely talented and beautiful @aliaabhatt on to the sets of #RRRMovie! #AliaBhatt #RRR”

Recently, while interacting with SpotboyE, Rajamouli opened up on why he cast the ‘Highway’ actress in the female lead. The director was quoted saying by the portal, “I needed an actress who can stand her ground between Tarak(NTR  Jr) and Charan(Ramcharan Teja) who are extremely talented actors. Alia is the perfect fit.”
