Fans all over the country are excited for filmmaker SS Rajamauli's upcoming action thriller 'RRR' and one major reason for that is the all star cast that this film has. Apart from Telugu superstars Ram Charan and Jr NTR, 'RRR' also stars Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgan in pivotal roles. In a recent conversation with IANS, Rajamauli talked about the importance of Alia's character and how he got inspired to cast her.

He said, "I have two superforces in the film -- fire and water -- Ram and Bheem, who are very strong and who are exclusive in nature. For me, the character of Sita is very soft, very fragile on the outside. But inside, she is so strong that she would be able to rein in these forces."

Talking about how he got Alia on board, the director further added, "I saw 'Raazi' and I was impressed with her (Alia's) performance. I was impressed by how a simple woman could do things much beyond her capacity. So, when we figured out the characterisation of Sita, everybody's choice was Alia.

"I knew Alia was interested in doing a role in my film but I did not know if she would be interested in playing a cameo. But when we asked her, she immediately jumped in joy without any hesitation."

'RRR' is going to hit the theatres on 7th of January 2022.
