Hot Hunk Rana's stardom increased tremendously after his power-packed performance in Rajamouli's magnum opus Baahubali. Rana stunned all with his menacing expressions, towering personality and macho physique as Bhalladeva and flexed muscles with Baahubali played by Young Rebel Star Prabhas.
Rana speaking to scribes revealed how he entered Baahubali and locked horns with Prabhas as Bhallaladeva. He said, "After my debut with Leader, few of my films failed to impress movie lovers. At that time, director Krish gave me an opportunity in Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum. Rajamouli after watching my performance in Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum gave me the offer in Baahubali. Once I got the opportunity I had training for six months regarding physique, theatre class, etc. During the shooting, I sprained my leg. I had a lot of problem for six weeks".
Rana is now starring in Virataparvam 1992 and Aranya and lined up many crazy and interesting projects.
