Talking about working with Venkatesh, Rana Daggubati said, “From the time I made it in my career, I knew I would do this at some point in my life. And I just wanted it to not be a cliche, and be something that we can consistently revisit. Revisit those characters over and over again. I couldn’t have asked for anything better than Rana Naidu, these filmmakers and Netflix. So, I am very happy.”

?Venkatesh, who plays the character of Naga in Rana Naidu, said it was ‘fantastic’ to share screen space with Rana.?

In the trailer, Venkatesh and Rana Daggubati were seen sharing a tumultuous equation as they play an estranged father-son duo.? The duo also spoke about the tough part of working together.?

Rana Daggubati said that it was hurling expletives at each other. “In this show, I had to hate the person I love the most and that’s my uncle. It is very hard to use foul language because it was stressing him and stressing me too. It was fine as long as it was in Hindi but in Telugu, it was too much. That was the most difficult part,” he said.

During the event, Venkatesh also surprised everyone by singing his popular song “Phoolon Sa” from Anari. The actor said that it’s been 30 long years since Anari and now he is coming back with Rana Naidu which is a kind of ‘jump’ for him. Calling it ‘crazy and wild’, Venkatesh said he’s glad he got to do something different and challenging with the show.

“I am supposed to be a family hero, soft spoken guy. I also did a lot of comedy films but this is something really amazing. I got to do something different. It was also very difficult but Karan said we will find a way and the final output is really fantastic. I got to speak crazy lines, hard hitting dialogues.”
