Alluri Sita Ramaraju and Komaram Bheem were freedom fighters of India who didn't meet in real life. This film is completely fictitious and based on an idea of what if those two met.
This film's title has different abbreviations in different languages but is commonly called RRR. Roudram Ranam Rudhiram in Telugu, Raththam Ranam Rowthiram in Tamil, Roudra Rana Rudhira in Kannada, Rudhiram Ranam Roudhram in Malayalam (all of which translate to Rage, War, Blood), and Rise Roar Revolt in both Hindi and English.
S.S. Rajamouli said the film was about an "imaginary friendship between two superheroes". He later went on to speak about the importance of "unapologetically" showing male friendship on screen.
The song "Naatu Naatu" was shot in Ukraine at the Mariinskyi Palace (Ukraine Presidential Palace) in Kyiv, a few months before the onset of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Telugu word 'Naatu' means 'country' in the rustic or rural sense.
Although the film found international success on Netflix, S.S. Rajamouli was angry with Netflix because they took only the Hindi dubbed version, not the original Telugu or the other dubbed versions in Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam languages.
