When Rana made his debut with off beat film like ‘Leader’ under versatile director Sekhar Kammula’s direction, everyone praised his guts for chosing a completely different theme for his debut unlike others who select Love Stories as safe bet. When he made his Bollywood debut the very next moment, once again Tollywood fraternity hailed his boldness to take on the best in Bollywood. He atonce made an impression in Bollywood and when he rubbed shoulders with none other than Big B Amitabh Bachchan everyone was in awe with him.

However when news came about his foray into Hollywood and more recently into Kollywood films one wonder whether Rana is planning his career in a right manner or in his quest to prove himself as versatile actor cutting across languages and creativity, running away from success. He did not have any hits in Tollywood with Nenu Na Rakshasi and Naa Ishtam failing miserably at Box Office and is pinning all his hopes on Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum.

Now the Buzz is Rana will play a tribal lord in the period film set in 5000 BC.The film attempts a realistic depiction of the tribal clan that fought hard to protect its habitat and Rana would be heading a small army of spirited and courageous fighters who take on mighty invaders. He will be teaming up with Simu under Selva Raghavan’s direction. Many analysts are of the opinion that he should prove himself in one industry before setting his sights to conquer the world.
