Satyadev’s scenes from RRR were deleted, Zebra actor breaks silence on SS Rajamouli snipping his 16 minutes long footage

Telugu actor Satyadev has recently gathered the spotlight for his upcoming release titled Zebra. Amidst heightened excitement for the film, the actor surprised everyone in a recent interview by revealing that he was a part of the film RRR. He added that his scenes were actually trimmed from the SS Rajamouli directorial.

When the actor was first asked about his experience working on the sets of RRR, he was taken aback and then revealed how no one actually knew he was part of the film. Calling the entire episode a sort of masterclass for him, Satyadev explained that his role never made it to the final cut, as it didn’t fit well with the film.

When Satyadev was asked why he never mentioned his involvement in the film, he responded that it was out of sheer respect for the cast and crew that he chose to remain silent on the matter.

Satyadev said, “I did my part well. At that time, my scenes didn’t fit into the movie. That’s why, when you first asked, I wondered how you knew about this. I never told anyone. It is my respect towards them. And of course, my role didn’t fit in with the movie.”

Check out his response here:

While Satyadev did not reveal further details about the role he played or which parts of his scenes were cut from RRR, it is believed that a total of 16 minutes of his footage was removed from the Ram Charan starrer. The actor expressed that including his scenes would have lengthened the film, which is why they were axed.

Although Satyadev’s part in RRR was removed, the film still went on to achieve immense success globally, even bagging a Golden Globe Award and an Oscar. From cinematography to individual performances and the terrific music compositions by MM Keeravani, the film became an instant icon, earning love and attention from audiences worldwide.

On the work front, Satyadev is now busy with his next release, Zebra. The Telugu-language financial crime thriller is written by Eashvar Karthic and is jointly bankrolled by Old Town Pictures and Padmaja Films Pvt Ltd.

In addition to Satyadev, the film stars Dhananjaya, Sathyaraj, Priya Bhavani Shankar, and Amrutha Iyengar, among others.

Malayalam actor Siddique gets relief in rape case as Supreme Court extends interim anticipatory bail: REPORT

Trigger Warning: This particular article contains information regarding sexual assault which might be triggering for some readers. 

Siddique can finally breathe a sigh of relief as the Supreme Court has extended the interim anticipatory bail granted to him in an alleged rape case for another week. According to a report by PTI, Justices Satish Chandra Sharma and Bela M Trivedi decided to extend the interim relief given to the actor on September 30. The judges also instructed him to cooperate with the ongoing investigation.

As per the report, a senior advocate representing Siddique had requested more time for arguments due to health issues. He also highlighted that the investigating agency is repeatedly requesting the actor’s old phone and laptop from 2016. The lawyer claimed that Siddique no longer possesses those electronic devices. 

The senior advocate also noted that the officers are asking for the actor’s passport and Aadhaar details despite knowing that he met the complainant once in his life. On the other hand, the lawyer appearing for Kerala Police stated that Siddique has not been cooperating with the investigating officers. 

He has allegedly been providing vague answers to the questions asked to him during the interrogation process and even deleted his social media accounts.

Siddique has reportedly appeared for questioning before the SIT (Special Investigation Team) twice. For the unversed, the actor was accused of sexually assaulting a young actress at a hotel in Kochi in 2016. The complainant informed the police that the actor had attended a screening of the film Sukhamayirikkatte at a local theater in Thiruvananthapuram. 

During the event, Siddique allegedly called her to a hotel under false pretenses and sexually assaulted her. The young actress said as quoted by The Statesman, “I was locked in a room. He abused me physically and told me it was okay if I didn’t allow him to cross the limits.”
