Rana Daggubati's lean look leads to speculation

Rana Daggubati is in the news for his look again, after the actor bulked up and put on weight for his role of

Bhallaladeva

in ‘Baahubali’.

Paparazzi pictures show the actor in a much-leaner look, sporting a long beard. This has led to fans speculating that maybe this is the look the ‘

Haathi Mere Saathi

’ actor will sport for his upcoming film with Sai Pallavi, ‘

Virata Parvam 1992

’, which will be directed by

Venu Udugula

. Even though the actor had already sported a lean look for his role of Chandrababu Naidu in the two-part

NTR biopic

, the transformation seems to have shocked many.

It remains to be seen if the same is for his look in the periodic film. The actor has also shied away recently from posting any pictures of him online, other than the ones from

Venkatesh

Daggubati’s daughter Aashritha’s wedding. He was sporting a long beard during the

wedding

too.
