Komaram Bheem (Jr NTR) is Hanuman
Hanuman, on the advise of Lord Ram visits Sita all the way to Lanka to inquire about her well being. He also takes the ring given by Ram. Jr NTR takes a sacred thread from Alia Bhatt (Sita as her character name goes by) and goes on a rescue mission to free Ram Charan (Rama Raju, his character name). The only difference being, unlike Hanuman, NTR goes a step further and frees Ram Charan. Although there is a little change difference between Ramayana and RRR movie where Sita is at Ram’s place and Ram is at Sita’s place. But more importantly, the message is conveyed crystal clear that Jr NTR has resemblance to Hanuman – the savior.

Ram Charan’s friend in the movie who is also a police officer tells him why he should not go on a mission to save Jr NTR (Korram Bheem) as it has taken 15 years of hard work to reach the ranks of special officer and more importantly in-charge of ammunition shed. After Ram Charan’s mission is complete, he returns to his village. Below are the striking similarities and justifies as to why Ram Charan is Lord Ram in RRR movie:
1. Isn’t Ram Charan’s 15 years in service as a police officer similar to Lord Ram’s 14 years of Vanavasa where both stayed away from their family?
