We even had short conversations, where I had mentioned about us working together", the 'Baahubali' director said.## "Later, I decided that I need to come out of my comfort zone and start making movies, which give much more than just a mass-masala entertainer does. At that point in time, Pawan got busy with his political interests. Hence, our paths diverged," Rajamouli explained.## Meanwhile, Rajamouli's "RRR" is a period action drama film, starring Jr. NTR, Ram Charan in the leading roles along with Ajay Devgn and Alia Bhatt. It is a fictional story about two Indian revolutionaries, Alluri Sitarama Raju (Charan) and Komaram Bheem (Rama Rao), who fought against the British Raj and Nizam of Hyderabad respectively.## RRR is produced by D.
