Rana Daggubati to show Bollywood producer

By Hindustan Times

He is solely two-films-old in Bollywood. But Telugu star Rana Daggubati is already planning to show producer for Hindi films. "I'VE plans to supply movies in Hindi but not as a remake. But I'M definitely producing good entertaining Hindi films. There's a whole slate that we're working on...hopefully by next year we might put it in progress. Hopefully, next year you can see me producing a movie in Bollywood," Rana told PTI in an interview.

It was last year, when the 27-year-old made his acting debut in B-town with Rohan Sippy's crime film, Dum Maro Dum, alongside Abhishek Bachchan, Bipasha Basu, Aditya Pancholi and Prateik Babbar. The film got a mixed response on the box office.

His next Hindi release is Ram Gopal Varma's action drama Department (May 18) alongside Amitabh Bachchan and Sanjay Dutt.

Ask him if he's looking to learn the nuances of being a producer in Bollywood by means of acting here, Rana says, "Production wherever on the earth is just about same. Ultimately to get out the content within the right real way is what a producer has to take action. being an actor it gives me a greater understanding in that zone."

Rana is the son of prolific film producer Suresh Babu Daggubati, who has produced several Telugu films.
