Hot Hunk Rana shot to fame with Rajamouli's Baahubali which also starred Prabhas in the lead role.
In the meantime, Rana speaking to scribes, shared the hardships of Baahubali. He said “We shot that for like six years or something. So most of those were like that. It’s not about one scene because, at that point, we were discovering how to make that film as well. It was not like we had so many war films being made. It was not like car action choreographers or visual effects were up to that mark. It was pushing everyone’s boundaries. It needed a master like Rajamouli and a team that came together for that vision. Usually, in a film, we can’t last for that long in our minds.”
He continued “Not the hot guy. My physicality changed. So I was coming back from the States, and I thought, would they recognise me now because I look so different from the guy who left? And the first person who recognised me was an immigration officer who was African-American. I took my mask off. He said, ‘Wow, that’s King Bhallaladeva.’ I said that’s it, boss. This film is ageing beautifully, and that’s four or five years after the film. So, I think cinema is forever. It creates an impact that doesn’t go off.”
