Rana Daggubati all praises for Amitabh Bachchan and Sunjay Dutt

The Indian actor Rana Daggubati will be seen as Inspector Shivnarayan alongside megastar Amitabh Bachchan and Sunjay Dutt in Ram Gopal Varma’s much-awaited upcoming film ‘Department’ and he insists facing camera with the Bollywood biggies was a challenge for him.

The 27-year-old made his acting debut with the Telugu film ‘Leader’, for which he also won a ‘Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut – South’. Rana, who last year made his Bollywood debut with ‘Dum Maro Dum’, admitted that without RGV’s help he couldn’t have performed alongside the two actors.

“Mr Bachchan has been doing films from the time when I wasn’t even born and Sanjay Dutt’s ‘Rocky’ was released before my birth. They are industry veterans and all us kids have grown up on their films. To be standing in front of these legends and do an action drama is one mighty challenge,” said Daggubati.

“Ramu made sure that I was prepared well enough before I headed for the sets. All credit to Ramu for mentally preparing me to face these two legends,” he added.

The 52-year-old actor Dutt has played lead role in some of the most popular Hindi language films of the past three decades and he is known best for playing gangster’s role. One of his blockbusters was ‘Vaastav’, which did exceptionally well at the box office and like many others Rana also liked the movie a lot.

“Someone like Dutt is a superhero down South. I remember the kind of euphoria I experienced when I watched ‘Vaastav’ in Hyderabad and thought one day I would want to work in something like that. For me this is the image that played in my mind when I stepped into ‘Department’. The film’s experience has allowed me to take some immense learning out of it,” he said.

Well, all said and done, Rana is certainly a very skilled actor but let’s see if he copes up with the level of Mr. Bachchan and Dutt.

‘Department’, which is one of the most eagerly awaited films of this year, will hit the cinemas on May 18, 2012.
