Rajamouli had planned to commence a mock shoot of “RRR” implementing all the new COVID19 guidelines imposed by the state government last week itself but he couldn’t begin for technical reasons.
Reports say he is planning to start this week or next week. But it will be tough for him to continue shooting in a larger than life scale.
The biggest headache is handling the logistics of bringing actors from Mumbai, Chennai, and other foreign locations.
Alia Bhatt who has signed the film to essay the role of Sita is now said to be dropping out of this project if the coronavirus crisis continues further.
Mumbai is one of the hotspots of the coronavirus cases in India and the Bollywood actors are staying at home and not stopping out.
Moreover, Alia Bhatt’s attracting so much of negativity on social media after the death of Sushant Singh Rajput over some of her negative comments about him in her earlier interviews.
Alia Bhatt has now disabled the comments section on her Instagram to avoid the barrage of negative comments. This whole incident seems to have put a lot of pressure on Alia Bhatt.
The buzz in the Bollywood media is that she might drop off “RRR” and may team up with Rajamouli in another movie.
But sources close to the director say this is false news. Rajamouli is very particular that she should essay this role. He did cast her opposite Ram Charan in this film.
