Rana Daggubati is definitely one of the most talented and widely recognized actors in Indian cinema. But, he’s not a star like Prabhas and Mahesh Babu who have a wide fan following. However, he shared an incident where Rana was recognized more than Prabhas and Mahesh Babu.
Rana recently shared an experience where he spoke to a friend in Mumbai about his colleagues Mahesh Babu and Prabhas, only to receive a blank expression in return. The friend had not heard of Prabhas and only recognized Mahesh Babu as “Chinu’s husband,” referring to his wife, Namrata Shirodkar.
Rana was surprised by the lack of recognition for these popular Telugu actors, but with the release of films like Baahubali, RRR, and Pushpa, actors like Prabhas, Rana, Ram Charan, NTR, and Allu Arjun have gained nationwide popularity.
Rana recalled telling his friend to wait a few years, and soon many actors from the Telugu film industry would make their mark on the national stage. Thanks to the success of these blockbuster movies, that prediction has come true, and Telugu actors are now widely recognized and appreciated throughout the country.
