Jr NTR as Komaram Bheem in SS Rajamouli’s RRR.

He wrote in a tweet: “I’ve tested positive for Covid19. Plz don’t worry, I’m doing absolutely fine. My family & I have isolated ourselves & we’re following all protocols under the supervision of doctors. I request those who’ve come into contact with me over the last few days to pl get tested. Stay safe(sic).”

RRR, which is being made on a lavish budget, will be a fictional story set in the 1920s pre-independent era and it will be based on the lives of two real revolutionaries – Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem.

Last November, a video was released to introduce Jr NTR’s character of Komaram Bheem from the movie. Ram Charan gave a voice-over to the video. RRR, which will be released in five languages, is tipped to be India’s next big film after the Baahubali franchise.

Jr NTR also has a project with KGF director Prashant Neel in the offing. This project is expected to take off towards the end of this year.
