Yesterday

when

grand
teaser
of

Raa
Narasimha
Reddy
got
unveiled
in

the
lead

of
the
film,
superstar
Chiranjeevi
revealed
how
he
convinced
megastar
Amitabh
Bachchan
to
do
an
extended
cameo
in
the
film.
He
told
media
at
the
event,
"When
I
was
talking
to
my
director,
he
said
there
is
this
role
and
if
we
can
get
AB
for
it,
nothing
will
be
like
it.
So
I
called
Amitabh
sir,
and
told
him
about
the
role,
he
said,
because
you
have
called,
I
will
do
it.
He
immediately
said
yes.
I
am
working
with
India's
only
megastar,
I
feel
fortunate
and
thankful."
While
praising
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Chiranjeevi
also
said
that
Big
B
is
his
real-life
mentor.
He
feels
there
is
only
one
megastar,
and
that
is
Amitabh
Bachchan.
Speaking
about
working
with
him,
he
said
that
it
was
simply
amazing
and
he
is
very
thankful
to
him.
Apart
from
Chiranjeevi
and
Big
B,
the
film
also
casts
Kiccha
Sudeep,
Vijay
Sethupathi,
Nayanthara,
Tamannaah
Bhatia,
Jagapathi
Babu,
Ravi
Kishan
and
Niharika
in
the
key
roles.
The
film
is
helmed
by
Surender
Reddy
and
is
produced
by
Ram
Charan.
Whereas,
Farhan
Akhtar-Ritesh
Sidhwani's
Excel
Entertainment
will
be
presenting
the
film
in
Hindi.
The
film
is
slated
to
hit
the
theatres
on
October
2,
2019
and
will
be
clashing
with
Hrithik
Roshan
and
Tiger
Shroff's
War.
Speaking
of
the
clash,
Farhan
said,
"We
should
go
beyond
this
thing
that
two
films
cannot
release
on
the
same
day.
I
hope
both
the
films
are
good,
and
the
audience
gets
to
watch
two
good
films."
