RRR: Behind & Beyond, a documentary offering behind-the-scenes glimpse into the making of the SS Rajamouli-directed blockbuster, will release in select theatres on December 20, the makers announced alongside a trailer on Tuesday.

“Hear and watch out… From the first clap on the sets to the standing ovation at the Oscars stage, #RRRBehindAndBeyond brings it all to you. 🔥🌊❤️#RRRMovie In select cinemas, 20th Dec,” reads the caption of the trailer on X.

The one-minute-50-second-long clip gives a sneak peek into exclusive, behind-the-scenes moments from the making of the film, which starred Ram Charan, Jr NTR, Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt and Shriya Saran. The film’s song Naatu Naatu won the Oscar for Best Original Song at the 95th Academy Awards, making it the first song from an Indian film to ever bag the trophy.

Rajamouli said that he never “feared” making RRR. In the video, which has received positive responses from fans, Ram Charan said that he never imagined starring in a film with his best friend Jr NTR. About the two co-stars, Rajamouli mentioned that he was really excited to fulfil the “long-held dream of bringing the two heroes together”.

The trailer features BTS moments of hit scenes from the film as well as choreography sessions of the dance sequence for Naatu Naatu. It also shows moments from its win at the Oscars. “I had shot not with one tiger but two tigers,” Rajamouli said in the video, which also features Ajay and Alia.

“RRR will remain with me for the rest of my life,” Jr NTR said about the film, while Ram Charan remarked, “It’s the most special moment in my entire career.”

“The journey unfolds, from Indian origins to global horizons,” reads a line displayed at the end of the video.
