No joke this! Rana Daggubati, who has just debuted as a jean-clad leader-politician in Leader, likes to do a mythological, if a chance comes his way. So, an actor in his 20s, saying this is quite amusing, but the thing is that Rana belongs to a different stock.

A youngster, who belongs to a family that has considered cinema an integral part of its system, Rana has proved that he is not quite interested to run around the bushes alone.

The Daggubati scion has bagged a film with Rohan Sippy, and the Bollywood flick has Abhishek Bacchan as the first lead. A film based on the drug life in Goa, the Hindi film is the next big thing on Rana's list.

Actively engaged in promoting his Leader with a vengeance, the actor has reportedly confessed to being heavily influenced by the Shekar-Kammula film, so much so it is strongly sitting in his mind.

And more, Rana wants to direct in future. Hope, he will be as different!
