Rana to work with Chiru?
The period film on the life of freedom fighter Uyyalavada, is produced by Rana's friend and actor Ram Charan.
Chiranjeevi is all set to start his next film Uyyalavada Narasimha Reddy from August onwards. The film’s pre-production work is currently underway and the makers are scouting for different locations.
According to a source, the makers are planning to approach Rana Daggubati for a powerful role in the biopic. “It’s a very important role and the makers want to rope in Rana for it. However, they have still not yet approached the actor as he was busy with Baahubali promotions,” says a source.
The historical film is directed by Surender Reddy and produced by Chiranjeevi’s son and actor Ram Charan, who is a good friend of Rana’s.
“A book in the British Library on Indian freedom fighters has nearly 100 pages on Uyyalavada Narasimha Reddy, so there is a lot to know about him to make an interesting film,” says a person who is working in the writing department.
