Rana Daggubati Interview About Nenu Naa Rakshasi Movie

Rana Daggubati has unconventional looks for a typical Telugu film hero. He made the perfect debut as ‘Leader’ with an author-backed role. He is also one of the rarest young South heroes to get into Bollywood at an early age. His 3rd movie ‘Nenu Naa Rakshasi’ in Puri Jagan’s direction is releasing on 29 April. Born into film industry, Rana is a smooth and shrewed customer when it comes to facing the media. Here are the excerpts of his chitchat with scribes -

Tell us how did ‘Nenu Naa Rakshasi’ (NNR) materialize?

Jagan narrated me the story at a restaurant and asked me to take a couple of days to take the decision. I have the habit of writing scenic order whenever I listen to a story. I wrote the scenic order that night and found that it’s a fresh story which I had never come across. When I did politician and music guy in Leader and Dum Maro Dum (DMD) respectively, I had a few films as reference to follow the characterization. But I didn’t have any references to the character of a professional cold-blooded killer I played in this movie.
NNR is a character based movie in which Jagan dealt a sensitive angle of human nature (suicide). Everybody has an opinion about somebody else’s death. But only the person who has gone through it would come to know what it takes to attempt suicide. There are around 14 suicide deaths happening per hour in India. NNR has suicide backdrop, but it is not the subject of the movie. It is a love story between a professional killer with a dark side and a girl with a darker side. Though it has a sensitive side to it, the Puri Jagan mark commercial elements are aplenty.

I would like to share an interesting thing here. Both Puri Jagan and Ileana wanted to commit suicide at different points of their lives. However, I never faced any problem that forced me to think about suicide.
