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 everyday, 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."
