Ram Charan's introduction scene in RRR took everyone's breath away. Director SS Rajamouli revealed that he was scared for Charan during the shooting.

Ram Charan's introduction scene in RRR is one of the most adrenaling-pumping sequences in recent times. Director SS Rajamouli had etched the scene in such a way that it took the audience to the edge of their seats. In a statement, Rajamouli opened up about his biggest fear and how scared he was for Charan during the shooting. Over 1,000 artists were roped in for that particular scene.

Ram Charan plays the role of Alluri Seetharama Raju in RRR. His character was modelled after the Telugu freedom fighter who revolted against the Britishers. Charan's introduction scene in RRR was one of the scenes which gave the audience goosebumps.

Elaborating on Ram Charan's introduction scene, SS Rajamouli said, "When you see 1,000 people ganging up on one guy, you will feel the adrenaline rush. Filming Charan’s introduction block was a scary experience. Soon after I called 'action', 1,000 people, with Charan amongst them, would move at once and there used to be dust all over. It was scary not to see him clearly amidst such a huge crowd. Luckily, he came out unscathed.”

The director added, "The unit prepared for this scene for 3-4 months and then filmed it for 15-16 days." Brilliant, isn't it?
