Rana dons a patriotic avatar
Gen X star Rana Daggupati seems to be bitten by patriotism bug these days. Close on the heels of a essaying the role of a patriotic Lt. Commander in “Ghazi,” the lanky star will be reportedly seen in the role of a fiery freedom fighter who takes up cudgels against mighty Britishers in his upcoming Tamil-Telugu bilingual film titled ‘1945’.
Gen X star Rana Daggupati seems to be bitten by patriotism bug these days. Close on the heels of a essaying the role of a patriotic Lt. Commander in “Ghazi,” the lanky star will be reportedly seen in the role of a fiery freedom fighter who takes up cudgels against mighty Britishers in his upcoming Tamil-Telugu bilingual film titled ‘1945’.
The actor is busy shooting for his patriotic film set in pre-Independence era and the story is inspired by real-life incidents. “Rana is essaying the role of a fiery freedom fighter and has done his home-work to get his look and performance right and very excited to portray a real-life character,” says a source from Chennai.
The big-budget flick is being produced by business tycoon-turned-producer S Rajendar, who incidentally, bought the Tamil dubbing rights of `Bahubali 2’ for a whopping Rs 70-crore plus. Surely, grandson of Ramanaidu is picking plum roles to showcase his acting repertoire. After his menacing performance in `Bahubali 2’, the audience will watch him in an upright patriotic role who valiantly fights for his mother land. Good going indeed!
