Rana wants to balance Bollywood and Tollywood movies

As he gears up for his next Hindi release Department,
actor Rana Daggubati says he wants to concentrate on his
Bollywood career without overlooking Telugu cinema.
The 27-year-old debuted in Bollywood alongside Bipasha
Basu and Abhishek Bachchan in 2011 film DMD. His next,
a cop drama, has been directed by Ram Gopal Varma and
is expected to hit screens in May.
"I am very happy that I have been accepted. It is great to
be noticed in the big ocean of Hindi films. I see so many
newcomers coming every day, they shine once and go
away.
Thankfully, it did not happen to me. I immediately got a
bigger film Department which is an action film, a genre
which I like very much," Rana told.
The actor, who plays a cop in the film, says it was a
difficult role to play because the character demanded a lot
of subtlety.
"My character's name is Shiv Narayan in the film. Every
word and every gesture that he has is very controlled. It is
extremely intense. It is a completely clean and white
character."
Meanwhile, Rana who started his career with Telugu film
Leader in 2010, is awaiting the release of his next film
down South.
"I have not really moved away from Telugu. I have been
constantly doing films. My next film Naa Ishtam with
Genelia is out for release in the last week of March. It is a
love story of a selfish man. There are only two truths in
the world one is selfishness and the other is love and
that's what the story is about."
