RRR: Alia Bhatt’s first look as Sita out on her birthday

Mumbai, Mar 15: Filmmaker SS Rajamouli on Monday unveiled the first look of Alia Bhatt from his upcoming period action drama "RRR" on the occasion of the actor''s birthday.

"RRR" is billed as a fictional tale based on the lives of two freedom fighters in early 20th century -- Alluri Sitarama Raju and Kumram Bheem.

Bhatt, who turned 28 on Monday, also shared the picture on Twitter with a heart emoji.

"RRR" will be the actor''s second theatrical release of the year after Sanjay Leela Bhansali''s drama "Gangubai Kathiawadi".

"RRR" stars N T Rama Rao Jr and Ram Charan in the lead roles and also features actor Ajay Devgn in a pivotal part.
