"Baahubali" star Rana Daggubati says he has always been enamoured by the idea that he gets to recreate interesting lives through characters good and bad. The actor, best known for his roles in Hindi movies "Dum Maaro Dum", "Baby" and Telugu films "Leader", "Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum" and "Rudramadevi", has made his streaming debut with Netflix show "Rana Naidu". "I like the extremes, like when I play good (roles) in films, there is extreme goodness like in `Leader`, where good is extreme. And if it is bad, the bad has to be extreme too and if it is grey like in `Rana Naidu`, it is (also) going to be extreme. I feel extreme emotions is what I connect with and it does not matter if I am playing good or bad (roles). The fact that I get to play so many things is interesting," Rana told PTI in an interview.
"The idea why we do movies or why we are actors is the fact that you can recreate lives that you can never live or have seen or what is most interesting," he added. Set in Bombay, the show, which streams from Friday, follows the life of Rana Naidu (Rana Daggubati), the go-to guy for everyone in Bollywood when they have a problem. Rana may solve problems for others but shares a tumultuous equation with his father Naga Naidu (Venkatesh). The show, an official adaptation of the popular American drama series "Ray Donovan", is showrun and directed by Karan Anshuman with Suparn Verma of "The Family Man 2" fame serving as the co-director. Rana, 38, described his character of Rana Naidu as complex yet emotional.
