Rana Daggubati compares Baahubali to Star Wars from the 70s; says, 'It is one landmark film that has changed cinema forever'

Rana Daggubati, who was gearing up for the release of his film, Haathi Mere Saathi, is now at home trying to make his lockdown as productive as possible. The actor got all chatty on his career since his debut, his journey and how he simultaneously juggles between Tollywood and Bollywood. He also went on to gush about his multi-starrer blockbuster, Baabubali, which changed the face of Indian cinema all over the world. Rana had made his Bollywood debut with Dum Maaro Dum in 2011. The actor has since then managed to keep himself busy with both the industries. While talking to Mumbai Mirror, Rana revealed that he feels fortunate for the diverse roles that he has played in his career.

"I guess, that's what growing up means. Today, I can confidently say that I'm a better actor, with a better knowledge of cinema," Rana Daggubati told Mumbai Mirror. When asked how he manages both Hindi and South films, he added "That's something even I've been trying to figure out," further explaining, "A Telugu film usually takes 10 months to a year to wrap up, so, I realised early on that I couldn't be a part of Mumbai's pop culture ever. There won't be frequent airport sightings nor would I be papped leaving the gym. So, I focussed instead on scripts and that's led to interesting career choices, be it the submarine film, The Ghazi Attack, the epic Bahubali or the upcoming Haathi Mere Saathi with 15 elephants as my costars."

Rana, who had begun working in the industry as a visual effects coordinator, was a part of one of the epic visual extravaganza film franchise, Baahubali. The actor, who played Bhallaldeva, gushed on being a part of it saying, "Nobody on that set had done anything like this before in their career, be it an actor or a technician. It was like being in an acting school, a film school and a visual effects school all at once, with a great teacher, SS Rajamouli. Like Star Wars in the '70s, this is one landmark film that has changed cinema forever."

Unlike many who are stuck at home duringthe coronavirus pandemic, Rana has a different notion on lockdown. "The animals are happier today and the waters are cleaner as humans stay home," he signed off.
