In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Rajamouli’s father Vijayendra Prasad revealed that the RRR story will continue in Africa in the film’s sequel. “After the release of RRR I shared an idea of the sequel where the story continues with Sitarama Raju (Ram Charan) and Komaram Bheem (NTR Jr) set in Africa,” he said. Prasad also added that his director-son liked the idea and asked him to develop it into a full-fledged script.

However, the writer also made it clear that Rajamouli is currently working on his next project with Mahesh Babu and will only take up RRR 2 after he is finished working on this one. “Knowing my son’s temperament he will not pay any attention to the sequel idea till the movie with Mahesh is finished. After that if he likes my script and if both the heroes like the script and if they have the time…” he added.

In November last year, SS Rajamouli had also confirmed that RRR 2 is in development. “My father is a story writer for all my films. We discussed a bit about RRR 2 and he’s working on the story,” he had said as quoted by India Today.
