Rana Daggubatti was ‘shocked’ when a Mumbai buddy addressed Mahesh Babu as Namrata’s husband: ‘I instructed him simply wait…’

Rana at present awaits the discharge of Rana Naidu. It’s the Indian adaptation of Ray Donavan, wherein he has teamed up together with his uncle Venkatesh for the primary time. Throughout the promotion of his upcoming collection, Rana was requested to touch upon the recognition of south movies and whether or not he ever anticipated such an enormous viewers reception from earlier than.

Talking to The Indian Categorical in a brand new interview, the actor mentioned that he has been making an attempt to make movies that may cater to audiences in each area for fairly a while now. Rana then went on to share a hilarious dialog he had with a buddy in Mumbai a couple of years again. “I was away for a few years while filming for Baahubali, so when I met this friend, I told him about the film. When he asked who was playing the titular role, I said Prabhas, and he was like ‘Who’s Prabhas?’ I didn’t know how to explain that to him so told him the names of his few films. He had not watched any of those films and then he told me something really crazy. He said the only Telugu actor I know is Chinu’s husband. I was wondering what he meant and then I realised that Chinu was Namrata Shirodkar. I was shocked that they knew of Mahesh Babu in that sense. I told him just wait for four-five years, and an army of us will land up here,” mentioned the actor.

Rana had earlier praised RRR and director SS Rajamouli for breaking the partitions of cinema in India. He’s gearing up for the discharge of Rama Naidu, which releases on Netflix on March 10. It additionally stars Surveen Chawla, Sushant Singh, Abhishek Banerjee, Gaurav Chopra, and Ashish Vidyarthi amongst others.
