Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn is gearing up to collaborate with Bahubali fame director SS Rajamouli in his next magnum opus RRR: Rise Revolt Roar. The film is scheduled to hit the screens on 8 January, 2021 but due to the coronavirus pandemic, shooting has been stalled and it is said that the makers are looking for the summer 2021 release date. Actors had already begun shooting for the film. Along with Ram Charan and Jr NTR, Ajay Devgn had also shot a part of his role for the film. While fans' excitement about the film knows no bound, Ajay and Alia Bhatt's characters were kept under wraps. However, according to recent reports, the Tanhaji superstar is all set to play a freedom fighter in the film.
SS Rajamouli's RRR: Rise Revolt Roar is a period drama and Ram Charan and Jr NTR will be seen
stepping into the shoes of real life freedom fighters Komaram Bheem and Alluri Sitarama Raju. Reports in Mumbai Mirror claim that Ajay Devgn will be seen as their guru in their years. The report quotes a source saying, "Ajay has shot for around 10 days at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad, where Delhi from the 1900s was recreated. He appears in the flashback scenes."
Ajay Devgn had earlier worked with SS Rajamouli in Makkhi as he gave his voice to the film. The report further states, "Rajamouli paid a tribute to him in Makkhi and the two have been good friends since. Ajay gave the nod within minutes of the narration. Though it is an extended cameo, his track will remind one of his National Award-winning performance in The Legend of Bhagat Singh and sets the tone for the drama involving the two leads."
