Alia Bhatt’s first look as ‘Sita’ in SS Rajamouli’s RRR shows the actor in a pensive mood and awaiting somebody. After Rajamouli released the photo on his Twitter page — accompanied by this tweet: “Strong-willed and resolvent #Sita’s wait for Ramaraju will be legendary!” — eager fans awaiting the film’s release for long lapped it up.
