In what could be one of the best shot and edited teasers of Indian cinema this year (unrivaled only by its previous promo), SS Rajamouli presented the second trailer of his great work, R.R.R.. New Teaser Junior introduces NTR as Tribal Revolutionary Khoram Bheem, who fought the Nizam’s tyranny in Hyderabad before India gained independence. This is a wonderful teaser, with its special effects, maturation and the amazing physique of Junior NTR. RRR: Junior NTR Komaram Bheem and his Bravura act will spell you (see video).
RRR: Here is a brief history of the adivasi revolutionaries explaining their religious identity, their interest in the Junior NTR’s Khoram Bheem Muslim Dress
However, the last two frames (and in some cases, outrage) of Twitter’s zest. This makes Junior NTR’s Khoram Bheem a religious Muslim, whose peaceful outlook predates the character’s aggressiveness. Some right-wingers are furious at how what they see as a Hindu freedom fighter is ‘transformed’ into a religious Muslim man.
Terrible distortion:

Watch RRR’s teaser below:
While we can’t say much about that particular scene, it’s too early. How can we determine what Rajamouli wanted to convey in just a minute? SS Rajamouli has a great chance to revolutionize the story of Komoram Bhim by making it bigger than life, just like its star-studded biceps. But if you read a little about this revolutionary lifestyle, we can take a couple of essays on where Rajamouli wants to take this role.
As we told you earlier, Khoram Bheem is more revolutionary than the freedom fighters, who took up arms against the oppressive Nizams who ruled Hyderabad and Telangana. He was a leader of the tribal tribes, belonging to the Gond tribe, whose lands were overthrown by rulers and who began to create impulses to fight for their rights. Adivasi revolutions are not getting much importance in our history books on India’s War of Independence, which is happening even today.
So the bravery of Komaram Bhim is only known to a few in our generation. He told his followers “Jal, Jungle, Zameen“. Adivasis living in the jungles reiterate that they have the right to be Nizam’s in this case, on their resources, on outsiders.
The comprehensive background of Komoram Bhim is illustrated in an article written by Akash Poyam, founder and editor of Adivasi Resurrection.. Poyam, who himself belonged to the Gond tribe, was also a part of Komaram Bhim, a researcher of tribal history and struggles. In his article, Poem tells us the tragic story of Bhim, who sees his father killed when he was only 15, but how the Nizams began to incite their people to fight against them, empowered by the British. Another revolutionary, Alluri Sitaram Raju, became a martyr when he was a young child. In R.R.R., Ram Charan is playing Alluri Seetharama Raju.

The article mentions that Khoram Bheem was a guerrilla war expert, with some Twitter users claiming, as follows, why Jr. dressed as a NTR Muslim. He believes he is dressed like that to deceive Islamic rulers.

While this is a possibility, another argument could be made that Rajamouli wants to make a statement on how Khoram Bheem is being portrayed in the context of Hindu nationalism. He is being referred to as a Hindu nationalist because he fought against the Muslim rulers of his state. However, Poem does dissent in his article.
He wrote, “Many existing historical accounts of Khoram Bheem claim that Khoram Bheem is a nationalist.”Vanwasi“The (Hindu) Nizam is a leader who fought against the government. These narratives argue that Bhim’s resentment against the Nizam was due to ‘Islamic’ oppression of the Hindus and the destruction of Hindu culture. When, Gond Adivasis are not Hindus, how can Bhim become a Hindu icon leading the war against ‘Islamist’ oppression? Which part of Bhim’s history indicates that he endorsed ‘Hindu’ religion or fought for Hindu rights? The history of the Gond people provides us with a completely different story. ”
He further stated, “These claims imply that Bheem is a campaign to manipulate history and combine it with Hindu nationalist discourse. Bhim’s movement against the Nizam was born out of the ‘denial of basic tribal rights on land, origins and the demand for autonomy’. In his imagination, he was only trying to free his people Decus (Outsiders) and fighting for justice and sovereignty. ”
So, by showing Komoram Bhim in a racist Muslim garb, is Rajamouli trying to distance himself from his portrayal of the newly perceived ‘Hindu’ hero? Whatever the answer, the RRR’s teaser is definitely tongue-in-cheek.
Like his previous movie franchise Bahubali, R.R.R. It is reported to be around Rs 450 crore. Bollywood stars Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn will also be part of the film, along with Hollywood stars Alison Doody and Ray Stevenson.
