We have all seen the trailer of submarine film 'Ghazi', but what is life really like aboard the silent submarines? Rana Daggubati (screen sailor) tells this shadowy world, one with a language all its own, and give us an inside look at life below the waves.
“At the end of 18 days, I was gasping for sunlight," says Rana Daggubati. The underwater film was a unique experience for the young actor who plays the role of Commander Arjun Verma. He, along with team, experienced the unique challenge of living underwater for close to a month in a pressurized environment inside a submarine setting.
"When you haven't felt the sun on your face and you've been breathing recycled air for months, getting on the surface of water and on land is like. Freedom at last! How I missed the beautiful sunlight," Rana adds.
