Now, according to a report in a portal, the makers have clarified that she’s still a part of the film and will start shooting for it in May. 

"Alia is working for RRR and she will be joining the sets of the film in May. 75% of the film has been completed already and Alia plays a key role in the remaining 25%. The film is shaping up really well and makers are happy with it," the portal quoted a source as saying. While Jr. NTR will be seen as Komaram Bheem, Ram Charan will be playing Alluri Sitharama Raju. The film also stars Ajay Devgn, and Samuthirakani in crucial roles.

Talking about the much awaited project, Rajamouli had earlier said that RRR will be a fictional story set in 1920s pre-independent era and it will be based on few years in the lives of two real heroes and well-known revolutionaries. "We don't know what happened in their lives in these years. It is through this fictional story we'd like to show what could have happened in their lives and what would have happened if they met and bonded," Rajamouli was quoted as saying at the film's launch ceremony.

Presented by D. Parvathy, the film is going to be produced under the DVV Entertainments banner by DVV Danayya, who has already confirmed that the film is being made on a budget of Rs 300 crore. The film's release might get affected due to COVID-19 pandemic.
