Rana Plans To Play Iconic Wrestler Kodi Ramamurthy Naidu

With sports taking the centre stage in films, especially in Bollywood, our Baahubali star has planned something on the similar lines. Rana Daggubati who recently appeared during Hyderabad’s Pro Kabbadi game is studying an iconic sportsperson from Vizianagaram, Kodi Ramamurthy Naidu. He himself is a sports enthusiast and even planned to be a boxer quite earlier than going for acting.

"I'm a huge fan of Mike Tyson. I also trained in heavyweight boxing earlier but it needed a lot of time and effort and I was very injury-prone, so I gave it up. But wrestling and boxing are the two sports I love", Rana revealed.

Talking about Naidu, Rana said, "He was accorded the title of Kaliyuga Bheema by King George V. I have grown up reading about him in text books and I'm researching the man. I'd love to play him on screen”. Now, this will be an interesting for fans to see Rana play wrestler from his recent avatar as warrior in Baahubali franchise.
