Alia Bhatt is celebrating her birthday on Monday and the RRR team has released the first look of Alia for the film as Sita. Alia is playing one of the lead roles in the movie and will be seen opposite Ram Charan’s character, Alluri Seetarama Raju. In the first look, Alia sits with lamps all around her and a basket of flowers is placed in front of her, wearing a beautiful green saree with a red blouse while her hair is tied up into a loose braid. She sports a maang tikka and jhumkas in the picture.
Sharing the picture, Alia captioned the post, "Sita" adding a black heart emoji and RRR hashtag, while director SS Rajamouli tweeted saying, “Strong-willed and resolvent SITA’s wait for Ramaraju will be legendary! Presenting Alia as Sita to you all :) (sic)”
