""He has also played characters with a similar look and feel"
Since releasing in March 2022, SS Rajamouli’s RRR has been a huge success in India and overseas but what would the film look like if it was a Bollywood film?
The film tells the story of two revolutionary leaders – Komaram Bheem and Alluri Sitarama Raju – who fight against the oppressive British rule in India.
RRR is set in the fictional village of Rangasthalam, where Bheem and Raju grow up.
They are childhood friends but have different ideologies about how to achieve independence for their country. Bheem believes in using force, while Raju believes in non-violent resistance.
They eventually unite to fight the common enemy.
The Telugu film grossed over Rs. 1,200 Crore (£117 million) and won an Oscar for ‘Best Original Song’.
But there is intrigue as to who could star in a Hindi version.
ChatGPT revealed which Bollywood stars could play the lead roles as well as the person who could direct it.
Alluri Sitarama Raju
Alluri Sitarama Raju is played by Ram Charan but according to ChatGPT, Ranveer Singh or Sidharth Malhotra could play the character in a Bollywood version.
Giving its reasoning for Ranveer, ChatGPT says:
“Ranveer Singh is a versatile actor known for his high-energy performances and ability to immerse himself in a character.
“He has delivered some powerful performances in the past and has shown a great range in his acting abilities.”
Meanwhile, the chatbot said of Sidharth:
“Sidharth Malhotra has a rugged, masculine look that is similar to the character of Alluri Sitarama Raju.
“He has also played characters with a similar look and feel, such as in the film Brothers.”
Komaram Bheem
Tribal leader Komaram Bheem was played by Jr NTR in the actual film.
In a Bollywood remake, ChatGPT suggested Vicky Kaushal or Rajkummar Rao.
The chatbot said: “Vicky Kaushal and Rajkummar Rao are both critically acclaimed actors who have shown a wide range of versatility in their performances.
“They have also played characters with strong and powerful personalities in their past roles, which makes them apt choices to play the character of Komaram Bheem in a Hindi remake of RRR.”
Sita
In the film, Sita was Sitarama’s fiancee and was played by popular Bollywood star Alia Bhatt.
But ChatGPT recast the actress, suggesting Shraddha Kapoor or Kriti Sanon instead.
The chatbot said both actresses are versatile and can “deliver impactful performances”.
ChatGPT also highlighted Shraddha and Kriti’s popularity at the box office, saying:
“Both actresses have a good box office track record and a massive fan following.
“Their presence would ensure that the film gets a good opening and draws in audiences.”
Venkata Rama Raju
Ajay Devgn made his Telugu film debut as Venkata Rama Raju in RRR.
Seen in flashback scenes, he inspires the two protagonists.
ChatGPT suggested that Sanjay Dutt take on the role in the reimagined Hindi version.
On the main reason why Sanjay would be a good fit, the chatbot said:
“Sanjay Dutt is a veteran actor who has been in the industry for several decades.
“He has played a variety of roles, and his experience would add depth and gravitas to the character.”
Sarojini
Shriya Saran appears as the character for a small period of time but it is an impactful one.
On who would be the right fit in a Bollywood version, ChatGPT said:
“One actress who could be a good fit for this role is Deepika Padukone.
“She is a well-known actress in the Hindi film industry and has a proven track record of playing strong female leads in films such as Padmaavat, Bajirao Mastani, and Piku.
“She is also known for her grace and elegance, which are essential qualities for the character.”
The chatbot also replaced SS Rajamouli as director, saying:
“If RRR were to be remade in Hindi, there are several directors who could potentially helm the project.
“However, one director who stands out is Sanjay Leela Bhansali.”
On the reason why, ChatGPT said:
“The film is a visual treat with grand sets and stunning cinematography, as is typical of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s films.
“The action sequences are intense and exhilarating, and the music is a mix of traditional and modern sounds, with a signature Bhansali touch.”
It added that the filmmaker has a proven record of “working with big stars and getting the best out of them”.
