Alia
Bhatt
on
Thursday
said
she
was
both
nervous
and
excited
about
working
on
SS
Rajamouli's
magnum
opus
RRR
but
she
owes
it
to
the
filmmaker
for
making
stint
on
the
film
smooth.
The
Telugu-language
film
is
a
fictional
tale
of
two
Indian
freedom
fighters
from
the
early
20th
century
-
Alluri
Sitarama
Raju,
played
by
Ram
Charan,
and
Kumaram
Bheem,
essayed
by
Jr
NTR.
Bhatt,
who
features
in
the
period
actioner
as
Sita,
said
she
was
nervous
to
play
the
Telugu
part
in
the
film.
"I
was
very
excited
and
nervous
when
I
was
offered
the
role
of
Sita.
I
was
more
nervous
because
of
the
language,
I
had
to
learn
the
lines
by
heart,
I
wanted
to
make
sure
I
said
those
lines
well
and
took
proper
pauses
and
more.
"But
once
I
was
on
set,
Rajamouli
sir
had
kept
everything
ready
and
made
it
very
smooth
for
me.
By
the
end
of
it,
I
was
sad
that
it
is
over,
but
hopefully
there
will
be
more
films
with
him
in
the
future,"
the
actor
told
reporters.
Bhatt
was
speaking
at
the
film's
trailer
launch
event
where
she
was
joined
by
Rajamouli,
Jr
NTR
and
Ajay
Devgn.
"Rise
Roar
Revolt" or
"RRR",
which
is
set
to
release
on
January
7,
2022,
was
earlier
slated
to
clash
with
Bhatt's
another
movie,
"Gangubai
Kathiawadi",
directed
by
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali.
But
the
clash
was
averted
as
the
release
date
of
"Gangubai
Kathiawadi"
was
moved
to
February
18,
2022.
When
asked
if
she
was
tense
when
both
her
films
were
supposed
to
clash,
Bhatt
said
that
never
happened.
"I
am
somebody
who
trusts
their
directors
and
producers,
that's
the
reason
they
are
who
they
are.
SS
Rajamouli
and
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
are
who
they
are
because
of
their
minds
and
their
understanding
of
cinema.
So
there
was
nothing
for
me
to
worry
about.
Even
at
that
moment,
I
was
like,
'What
will
happen?
It'll
be
Alia
vs
Alia,
Ajay
vs
Ajay.
But
eventually
it
didn't
happen
that
way,"
Bhatt
said.
Both
"RRR"
and
"Gangubai
Kathiawadi"
also
feature
Devgn
in
pivotal
roles.
On
"RRR",
Devgn
said
only
a
filmmaker
like
Rajamouli
could
attempt
to
mount
the
project.
The
actor
had
presented
the
filmmaker's
2012
hit
"Eega"
in
Hindi,
titled
"Makkhi".
"The
kind
of
cinema
Rajamouli
makes,
only
he
can...
If
anyone
else
attempts,
it'll
be
quite
difficult.
His
vision
is
not
only
massive
but
also
unique
and
earthy...
The
way
he
writes
his
characters,
moulds
them,
it's
fabulous,"
Devgn
said.
