Hyderabad, May 21, 2025: The excitement was palpable at Hyderabad’s iconic Prasad Cinema as fans gathered in large numbers for a special celebration hosted by none other than superstar Rana Daggubati along with the versatile and dynamic actor Arjun Rampal. Marking the return of Netflix’s gritty hit series, Rana Naidu, both the actors made a grand entrance and unfurled a massive poster of Rana Naidu Season 2 with trademark swagger, setting the tone for what's to come.
Adding to the buzz, fans were given an exclusive first look at the new season, heightening anticipation for the show’s premiere on June 13 on Netflix. “Season 2? It’s wild,” said actor Rana Daggubati. “It’s bigger, and a whole lot more personal. Getting back with Netflix and the entire team of Rana Naidu has been such a blast. We went deeper, got messier, and raised the stakes across the board. It’s everything you loved — turned up to eleven. The first season received a lot of love from the fans and the audience alike, and I am so glad we could extend the exclusive first look to the fans today. Having Arjun join me today for this celebration is special and means a lot. You’ll see Rana and Rauf (Arjun Rampal’s character) at loggerheads in the show, but here, in Hyderabad, I am ensuring I am the perfect host.”
Actor Arjun Rampal said, “It was tough bringing Rauf’s character to life, but the dedication and persistence of Karan Anshuman made it possible. The levity they brought to the character made it a very well-written and layered personality, whom I had a lot of fun playing. He is absolutely fearless. Rana Naidu is going to have a tough time this season, Rauf has ensured that! That was just the character I play, but personally, I've gotten along really famously with Rana through the shoot. He is an absolute delight to work with. And so is Venky. In fact, the whole cast has been brilliant. Super talented bunch.” Arjun further added, “This is my first show with Netflix and I am super stoked about it. They have been involved and brought a lot to the table for the betterment of the show. This is also a first for me as I have been directed by three directors, Karan, Suparn and Abhay. They are poles apart as individuals but at the same time in complete sync with each other. It’s been simply awesome watching all the fans here today enjoying the first look of the upcoming season of Rana Naidu. June 13 is not too far away… stay tuned for more on Netflix.”
