Leading Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt on Thursday addressed rumors stating that she was upset with the RRR team after her role in the film was apparently cut short in the theatrical version. There was talk that the actress had deleted several promotional posts she had done for the film on her Instagram page. Fans pointed out that Alia had either deleted or archived some of the RRR promotional posts leading up to the film's release. Speculations were rife that the actress was not happy with the film's director SS Rajamouli after her role had been cut short. 

Alia shared a detailed note on Instagram Stories and wrote, "In today's randomness I've heard that I apparently deleted my RRR posts because I'm upset with the team." She stated that she had deleted some of the RRR posts as she wanted to clear her Insta feed. Alia added, "I sincerely request everyone not to make assumptions based on something as random as an Instagram grid. I ALWAYS realign old video posts from my profile grid because I prefer it to look less cluttered." She then extended her gratitude to director Rajamouli and her co-stars Jr. NTR and Ram Charan. Alia said, "I am eternally grateful that I got to be a part of the world of RRR. I loved playing Sita, I loved being directed by Rajamouli Sir, I loved working with Tarak and Charan - I loved every single thing about my experience on this film." She concluded her clarification stating, "The only reason I'm bothering to clarify this is because Rajamouli Sir and the team have put in years of effort and energy to bring this beautiful film to life and I refuse to let any misinformation around the film and experience slide."

SS Rajamouli's RRR has turned out to be a phenomenal box office success earning Rs 672 crore worldwide in six days since its release. The film is currently the seventh highest-grossing Indian film of all time, with a strong buzz in the trade estimating it to cross the Rs 1000 crore mark soon in the days ahead. Set in the 1920s pre-Independence era, RRR is a fictional story based on Telugu freedom fighters Alluri Sitarama Raju (Ram Charan) and Komaram Bheem (Jr NTR).
