Sandalwood Superstar Kiccha Sudeep was recently seen playing the antagonist in Salman Khan's Dabangg 3, directed by Prabhu Deva. The actor had collaborated with many acclaimed directors and one of them is SS Rajamouli. The duo joined hands for Eega (2012) and Baahubali- The Beginning, in which Sudeep played a cameo role.
Recently, social media was rife with speculation that Sudeep will be teaming up with SS Rajamouli for his upcoming historical RRR. Starring Ram Charan and NTR Jr. as leads, the film is produced by DVV Entertainment. Alison Doody and Ray Stevenson play the lead antagonists of the film.
However, the actor denied that he was neither approached nor has there been a discussion of him playing a role in the film. Previously, the actor was also rumoured to be a part of STR and Venkat Prabhu's Maanadu, which he completely denied.
