Directed by Sekhar Kammula, the political drama received critical acclaim and gained cult status over the years. The film followed Arjun Prasad’s rise as CM and his battle against corruption, making it a significant milestone in Telugu cinema.
While Rana’s career has seen highs like Baahubali, where he shined as Bhallaladeva, and intense performances in Bheemla Nayak, fans have long hoped for a Leader sequel. Though no official confirmation has been made, speculation is rife after all, in cinema, never say never.
As fans eagerly await updates, Rana is gearing up for his next project, Rana Naidu Season 2, promising more gripping performances from the versatile star. After the massive success of Rana Naidu on Netflix, fans are eagerly anticipating its second season. The gritty crime drama, starring Rana Daggubati in the titular role, explores the dark underbelly of Mumbai’s power circles. The show, an official adaptation of the popular American series Ray Donovan, was praised for its intense storytelling, bold themes, and Rana’s compelling performance as a ruthless fixer for Bollywood elites, politicians, and criminals.
One of the biggest highlights of the series was Rana sharing screen space with his real-life uncle, Venkatesh Daggubati, in a never-seen-before intense rivalry. Their on-screen father-son conflict added depth to the narrative, making it one of the most talked-about aspects of the show. Season 1 ended on a high note, with unresolved tensions and shocking revelations, setting the stage for an even more thrilling Season 2.
