Alia Bhatt’s Role In Her Telugu Debut RRR Might Not Be Up Her Alley

These days, one can trust the quality of a film merely due to Alia Bhatt’s presence in it. Yes, Kalank turned out to be a disaster but her solid performances in films like Udta Punjab, Raazi, Gully Boy and more has given her a credibility that is rare for an artist who has been in the industry for merely seven years.

Thus, it was exciting when Alia decided to dissolve the linguistic barriers and set out to make her Telugu debut in SS Rajamouli’s RRR opposite Telugu superstars like Ram Charan Teja and Jr. NTR. In fact, Alia Bhatt herself initiated the process and had Karan Johar recommend her to Rajamouli for RRR. But according to recent reports, her role in RRR might not be as substantial as the ones she is used to doing in Bollywood.

A source close to the film revealed, “Alia was very keen to work with Rajamouli. The heroine’s role could have been done by any Telugu actress. It has no substance. The film is all about the two heroes Ramcharan Teja and NTR Jr. If a Bollywood star of Alia’s stature came on board it is only natural that the feminine dynamics would improve for the better. They didn’t. Alia is just a prop in RRR. So much so that Alia may get a “guest appearance” tag in RRR.”

This information has kinda let our spirits to drop a little especially because Alia was also really keen on working with Rajamouli. In fact, she had said in an interview, “When I came into movies I had two names on my directors’ wish list Sanjay Leela Bhansali and SS Rajamouli. I am working with both. What more could I ask for?”

However, knowing Alia we can be sure that even she is in a film for two scenes she will make her presence felt and leave a lasting impact, because that is just how amazing an artist she is.
