He reportedly revealed that if one looks at his career graph, one can notice that he has always been interested in taking up different characters. He believes in exploring himself as an actor.


He added that it doesn’t matter if the film belongs to a big production house or a small one. If the script is good and the character is nice, he is all in.


He further added that Bollywood has been very kind. He has been offered roles in intervals but always been blessed with the best. Talking about ‘Dhadak’ director, Rana said that he has had an old association with Shashank since they worked on ‘Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania’ together. He even averred that it is a fantastic thing that a director has so much trust in him.


Talking about his character in the film, he said that it’s very different from what he has done in ‘Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania’. He assertively added that he can say the character is someone one will take with him/her once they leave the theatre. He even termed it as a “Dabangg” character.

Praising Janhvi’s dedication, he opined that she is so professional and focused about her work; and her understanding and the professionalism makes one believe that she is a born actor. He even said that Janhvi is a volcano ready to burst and that she’s going to blow everyone’s mind.


While Janhvi’s comparison with her star mom Sridevi has already begun, Rana addresses the matter too. He professed that when there’s a star kid, unfortunately, everyone finds their parents, who are veteran/iconic actors, in them. He feels that it is not justified. He further added that if one sees her as Janhvi alone, one will realise how amazing she is. He emphasised that try not to look for a Sridevi in a Janhvi and a Shahid in Ishaan, he can bet one will then see the caliber.
