Rana to head to Bollywood

Even as his debut film Leader is about to hit the screens, Rana has got lucky to get a Bollywood film offer.  Yes, the Daggubati scion has reportedly been offered a meaty role by Rohan Sippy, the maker of Kuch Na Kaho and Bluffmaster.  The Hindi film will have two male actors playing the lead.  If Rana is the second hero, the first one is Abishek Bacchan.

The news is a big surprise to everyone as no one expected the actor to go Bollywood even so early in his career.  How did he land in the project?  The story goes that Rohan had an opportunity to watch the promos of Leader and he was impressed with Rana's screen presence, especially the looks.  What more, the junior Sippy felt that Rana looks like a typical Goan, and it is how the Leader actor bagged the role of a Goan musician in the film on drug racket in India's smallest state.

Rana must certainly be upbeat about the offer because it means going national in his very first month in films.  Though an official confirmation is yet to come from the actor, the Sippys have already confirmed that they are doing the film with the Telugu actor.

Great going, Rana, in the New Year!
