Well, if S S Rajamouli's ambitious project gets pushed to October, Ranbir Kapoor's much-awaited film Shamshera, co-starring Vaani Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt will avoid clashing with the South biggie, but shall battle it out with Kartik Aaryan's and Kiara Advani's Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.

Talking about RRR, it is a fictitious tale on two Telugu freedom fighters Alluri Seetharama Raju and Komaram Bheem played by Ram Charan and Jr NTR respectively.
