But after the first season played out in 2023, it was clear that the makers made the right choices. On Monday, Netflix, at the Next on Netflix event, shared that the second season of Rana Naidu would premiere this year. Interestingly, apart from the cast of Venkatesh, Rana, and Surveen Chawla, Arjun Rampal was announced as the newest entrant to the cast. The makers also revealed that the second part wasn't an afterthought after the success of the first, but was always going to happen.
