Actress Shriya Saran played a brief role in RRR as Sarojini, the mother of young Alluri Sitarama Raju, who gets killed by the British army. The whole sequence played an incredible part in shaping the character and motive of Ram Charan’s character. Shriya revealed those portions were shot right after SS Rajamouli had an asthma attack.

Speaking to India Today, the actress said, “He worked really hard on this film (RRR). Even before shooting the part that we were shooting, he had an asthma attack, but it didn’t matter to him… It was beautifully shot and written…the part that I am in.” She added, “Amazing…the way he (Rajamouli) has written, the way he has directed it, he always has a larger-than-life vision, which is amazing!”
