PIL filed against makers of 'RRR' claiming it distorts the history of the two freedom fighters

A young lady named Alluri Sowmya from Undrajavaram, West Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh, filed a PIL in the high court on its writer and makers for distorting the facts of Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem in the upcoming movie 'RRR'. She also reportedly requested the non-censorship of the movie.

Earlier some sections objected to Komaram Bheem's character wearing a Muslim cap in the teaser. But the team denied that they haven’t shown Bheem as a Muslim, but it is only a camouflage of the character to save himself from British those days.

RRR is a fictionalized story about the Indian revolutionaries who fought against the British Raj and Nizam of Hyderabad respectively. The story penned down by KV Vijayendra Prasad, the film is said to be based on the stories of revolutionary Telugu heroes Rama Raju and Bheem, and the connection between them is fictional.

SS Rajamouli has been explaining it right from the beginning that how they could have been friends during their formative years, and inspired him to make a film set in 1920, that explores the undocumented period in their lives when both the revolutionaries choose to go into oblivion before they began the fight for their country.
