Rana Daggubati the young Telugu actor with a movie lineage and pedigree was all set to make his Tamil debut with Vetri Maaran's "Vaada Chennai"alongside Simbu , but the latest news is that the actor has opted out of the project.
There are two versions of story coming out from the movie camp about Rana's decision to opt out of the project. According to Rana's version its date clash with his commitments in Telugu and hindi which has forced him to prioratise the ongoing projects leaving him with no choice but to opt out of "Vaada Chennai". But the director's version of the story is different, according to Vetri, it was because Rana didnt like his role in the movie that he decides to opt out".
Rana says "I had to opt out because the director wanted bulk dates through March, when he would begin filming the portions of the character that I was supposed to play. Unfortunately, my Telugu film, Naa Ishtam, and Hindi film, Department, were delayed due to many reasons, leaving me no option but to put them on priority. I also just began shooting for a new Telugu film. This left me with few dates to accommodate a new film in the next six months."
But Vetri Maaran had this to say "I guess he had a different kind of expectation from his character in this film. He felt the role would not suit him and his career plans in Kollywood. He told me he was uncomfortable with a few things in his character sketch."
The good part is that the decision was amicable and both the actor and director is looking for a suitable script to work together.
The lead Telugu actor Venkatesh is the uncle of Rana who made his Telugu debut with Leader. He is also the newphew of another megastar of Telugu industry Nagarjuna. In 2011 he made a successful debut in Bollywood with the movie "Dum Maaro Dum".
