Highlights

- The film is a period drama set in the pre-Independence era
- RRR has set the box office on fire with box office collection of Rs 500 crore
Bollywood star Alia Bhatt made her debut in the South with Rajamouli's recent sensation 'RRR'. It is being said that Alia isn't quite happy with the brief screen space she has been allotted in the final cut of 'RRR'. It is reported that Alia Bhatt, who seems to be unhappy about her brief role in 'RRR' has apparently deleted a few posts related to 'RRR' from her Instagram feed. It was also rumoured that Alia Bhatt unfollowed S.S. Rajamouli on Instagram, however, she still follows the filmmaker.
Folks also point out that Alia Bhatt, who was spotted publicizing 'RRR' before its postponement, had gone inactive during the second leg of RRR's promotional campaign, except for one big event.
It is true that Rajamouli failed to pen the best of characters for Alia Bhatt in 'RRR', if her stardom across Bollywood is to be considered. So, no wonder even the actress is upset. Anyway, it is too early to draw any conclusions.
Meanwhile, RRR has reached Rs 500 crore worldwide gross box office collection on the third day of its release. The highest-grossing film at the worldwide box office in the last three days boasts of a powerful star cast including Jr NTR, Ram Charan, Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn among others.
