RRR editor A. Sreekar Prasad not only knows how to cut a great movie, he knows how to do it quickly when required. But despite having a massive fourteen film credits to his name in 2022 alone, Sreekar's time on RRR was actually spread out over three years, with a constant cycle of cutting scenes and turning them over to VFX to accommodate for the huge role CGI played in bringing RRR to life. In addition to RRR, A. Sreekar Prasad is known for his work on TALVAR (2015), DIL CHAHTA HAI (2001) and SHERSHAAH (2021).
RRR is a "Tollywood" (Telugu-language) film directed by S. S. Rajamouli, who co-wrote the film with V. Vijayendra Prasad. The film stars Ram Charan and N. T. Rama Rao Jr. as the real-life Indian revolutionaries, Alluri Sitarama Raju (Charan) and Komaram Bheem (Rama Rao). The film imagines their friendship and fight against the British Raj in the 1920s, exploring the undocumented period in their lives when both revolutionaries chose to go into obscurity before they began the fight for their country.
