RRR: Alia Bhatts role NOT up to the mark?

22 Jun 2019

On Karan Johar s recommendation Alia Bhatt had been offered the female lead in SS Rajamoulis RRR. She eagerly grabbed the opportunity to work with one of her dream directors in the hope that her presence in RRR will be justified by an enhanced screen space for her character. But now it looks like Alia who plays only strong author-backed roles in Hindi cinema, has no more to do than participate in one song and deliver a few dialogues. A source in the know says, Alia was very keen to work with Rajamouli. The heroines 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 Alias stature came on board it is only natural that the feminine dynamics would improve for the better. They didnt. Alia is just a prop in RRR. So much so that Alia may get a guest appearance tag in RRR. Alia whos working with the crme de la crme of Bollywood and had specially learnt Telugu for her role in RRR is unfazed by the length of her role. 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,? She claimed.
