RRR
(Roudram
Ranam
Rudhiram)
team
is
currently
going
through
a
tough
time
due
to
the
ongoing
COVID-19
pandemic
and
the
subsequent
lockdown.
Though
the
makers
were
prepping
up
to
go
for
a
trial
shoot
amid
the
lockdown
following
all
the
norms,
the
plan
was
apparently
cancelled
due
to
the
spike
in
positive
COVID-19
cases
in
the
state.
With
fans
eagerly
awaiting
the
latest
updates
from
the
makers,
the
cinematographer
of
the
movie,
Senthil
Kumar
has
clarified
about
the
RRR
shoot.
During
a
media
interaction,
the
cinematographer
said
that
he
has
been
researching
a
lot
about
virtual
technology
during
the
lockdown.
The
technology
will
reportedly
replace
the
conventional
VFX
technique
of
green
chroma
screens.
It
is
to
be
noted
that
the
Hollywood
film
Star
Wars'
recent
episode
was
shot
using
the
same
technology.
He
said
that
the
RRR
team
is
yet
to
decide
on
whether
or
not
to
use
this
technology
for
the
pan-India
project.
Senthil
also
revealed
the
reason
why
RRR's
recent
trial
shoot
was
cancelled.
He
was
quoted
as
saying,
"We
planned
to
analyse
the
current
situation
of
COVID-19
by
opting
for
a
trial
shoot.
Generally,
around
500-600
people
are
included
in
each
day
of
the
shoot
of
RRR.
But
the
government
gave
permission
to
resume
the
shoot
only
in
the
presence
of
50-60
people.
Though
we
planned
to
resume
the
shoot
from
July
first
week,
the
spike
in
the
Coronavirus
cases
led
to
a
halt
yet
again."
Talking
about
the
movie,
directed
by
SS
Rajamouli,
RRR
will
also
feature
Ram
Charan,
Jr
NTR,
Shriya
Saran,
Bollywood
actors
Alia
Bhatt
and
Ajay
Devgn
in
pivotal
roles.
Bankrolled
by
DVV
Danayya,
the
epic-drama
is
set
in
the
backdrop
of
1920's
pre-independent
India
and
is
based
on
a
fictional
story
of
two
legendary
freedom
fighters
Alluri
Sitarama
Raju
and
Komaram
Bheem.
