S S Rajamouli, director of ‘RRR’, has confirmed that a story for the sequel is currently being worked out by his father, the screenwriter V Vijayendra Prasad, the Variety reported.
The ‘Baahubali’ filmmaker discussed the sequel at a screening in Chicago over the weekend. “My father is the story writer for all my films. We discussed a bit about [‘RRR 2’] and he’s working on the story,” said Rajamouli.
‘RRR’, one of the most expensive movies ever made out of India with a reported budget of $72 million, has had an incredible ride since its debut in March.
The Telugu-language historical fiction epic follows real-life 1920s Indian freedom fighters Komaram Bheem (NTR Jr) and Alluri Sitarama Raju (Ram Charan), who in the film become fast friends united against a common enemy — the occupying, colonial British.
The three-hour-plus pic is stuffed end-to-end with action choreography, stunt work, pyrotechnics and VFX, including one standout sequence in which Bheem unleashes tigers, leopards and other wild animals from a truck to attack the British.
