How does it feel to bring films back-to-back with Vijay Antony?
Vijay Antony and I have been friends for a long time. After Morgan’s success, we wanted to continue our journey together. Now, with BhadraKali ready for release, and other projects like Booki and Full Bottle in progress, our banners are producing back-to-back films.
How did BhadraKali begin?
Director Arun Prabhu narrated the story, and it immediately impressed us. His vision is the backbone of this film. It’s not just entertaining but thought-provoking, making it a very unique project.
What makes this film special for Vijay Antony?
This is his 25th film, and it’s crafted with a big budget and rich content. His character in BhadraKali is unlike anything he has done before—very different, very powerful, and sure to connect with audiences.
How confident are you about the film’s reception?
After watching the first copy, I felt immense satisfaction. From the opening minutes, the film draws the audience into the story. Every scene is gripping, and there’s no room for boredom.
Can you highlight some key elements of BhadraKali?
The political backdrop is strong, but what makes it different is the unique character Vijay Antony plays. It touches on real issues that audiences will personally connect with. The music and background score are another highlight.
Are you planning more Telugu films?
Yes, Full Bottle with Satyadev is complete and ready for a November release. We are also in talks for other big projects, including one with director Shashi and Vijay Antony together.
All the best,
Thank you

How do you feel about your role in Kaantha? Playing Kumari in Kaantha is a blessing. It’s a complete performance-oriented character that gave me space to explore my emotions as an actor.

The narrative had depth and emotional intensity. Working with Dulquer Salmaan and Rana Daggubati made it even more special for me. What

Rana, your name is often associated with quality cinema. How do you respond to such compliments? It’s very nice to hear that. Our goal has always been to tell good stories and bring new voices to the audience. I feel that storytelling has remained central to everything I do, whether it’s acting, producing, or even in my business ventures. I believe the audience looks for authentic stories, and that’s exactly what we aim to deliver. You produced Kaantha, an indie film that didn’t get as much reco

You are one of the busiest actresses in Telugu cinema right now. How does it feel? It feels wonderful. After Virupaksha, I received several offers but I am very selective about what I choose. I signed Bimbisara, Virupaksha, Sir, and Bheemla Nayak around the same period, though they released at different times. Later I signed Swayambhu, Naari Naari, and then Akhanda 2. After that, I worked in Puri sir’s film. I always choose stories based on content and how much it connects with audiences. How di
