After the stupendous success of Baahubali, in which he played Bhallaladeva, Rana Daggubati is all set to rock again in his upcoming film, Nene Raju Nene Mantri. The movie marks Rana’s first-time collaboration with his father D Suresh Babu, who has co-produced the film.
Rana has already played a variety of characters in his film career that began seven-years ago.
Besides acting, Rana has also co-produced and worked as coordinator for many films. He loves content writing and spends a lot of time doing that.
The actor was in Bengaluru to promote Nene Raju Nene Mantri along with co-star Kajal Aggarwal. In an interview with BM, the actor talks about his experience of working in the film, about social media and about films in sandalwood. Excerpts:
How challenging was it working for ‘Nene Raju Nene Mantri’?
Nene Raju Nene Mantri is the story of a money lender called Jogendra and his lovely wife, Radha. Their life turns topsyturvy because of avarice. All this plays out against a political backdrop.
Any interesting anecdote from your new movie?
It is a political drama. We have tried to make it fun. There was lot of focus on casting and prepping.
Which is your most favourite character (apart from Ballaladeva in ‘Baahubali’)?
If I don’t like a character I don’t play it. All the characters that I have played so far have been interesting.
