As fans gear up for season 2 of Karan Anshuman and Suparn Verma’s action thriller show Rana Naidu, Sunil Grover ‘auditioned’ to play the lead role in the new instalment, much to the chagrin of Rana Daggubati. On Tuesday, Netflix India dropped a hilarious video “Rana Naidu vs Shana Naidu: Who will make it to season 2?”
The video starts with Daggubati performing action stunts in typical Rana Naidu fashion, before someone abruptly calls “Cut!” When Daggubati angrily asks, “Who called for cut,” Grover pops up dressed exactly like Daggubati, in a white shirt, dark suit, and even sporting the same moustache and beard. He introduces himself as Shana Naidu, the “asli hero” of season 2.
Grover then pulls out the card he saved for the last: A Deepfake message from Daggubati’s uncle and co-star Venkatesh Daggubati, asking Rana to let Shana be the season 2 lead. Rana doesn’t fall prey, and makes Grover “Rawana Naidu.” At the end of the video, Grover pops up again, cross-dressed, proposing “Janana (woman) Naidu,” before Rana makes him run away.
Grover often cross-dressed as Gutthi on The Kapil Sharma Show. Now, he appears an Engineer Chumbak on The Great Indian Kapil Show, hosted by Kapil Sharma, season 3 of which will premiere on Netflix India on June 21. Meanwhile, Rana Naidu season 2 will drop on the platform on June 13.
An official adaptation of popular American series Ray Donovan, the show brought together the real life uncle-nephew duo for the first time. It follows the life of Rana Naidu (Rana), the go-to guy for everyone in Bollywood when they have a problem, and his tense equation with estranged father Naga (Venkatesh).
In season two, Rana Naidu embarks on one last job to secure his family’s future before getting out of the ‘fixing’ business for good, but soon finds himself entangled in conflicts with his loved ones – and the looming threat of a ruthless underworld figure from his past. Season 2 also stars Arjun Rampal, Surveen Chawla, Kriti Kharbanda, Dino Morea, Abhishek Banerjee, and Sushant Singh.
