Rama Rao Jr. and Ram Charan.[13] The film was tentatively titled as #RRR ,[14] which was later confirmed to be the official title because S. S.

Rajamouli have taken off to Vadodara on 29 March 2019 to continue with the shoot of the film.[19] The second schedule of the film took place in Bulgaria where the crew shot crucial scenes featuring N. T. Rama Rao Jr.[20] Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn began his shooting schedule on 21 January 2020.[21]
