'Virataparvam': Rana Daggubati to be seen as Naxalite in film set in 1992

Rana Daggubati has several films in his kitty and his very upcoming film is Housefull 4 in which he plays the role of a tribal man named Khookha Toli ka Raja. Rana also has Haathi Mere Saathi, Hiranya Kashyap, Madai Thiranthu/1945, Enai Noki Paayum Thota, Virataparvam and Bhuj: The Pride of India. Talking about Virataparvam, in the film, as per reports in Indian Express, the actor is likely to play the role of Naxalite.

Talking about it, a source told the portal, "Rana will be joining the sets of Virataparvam in November. As of now, the major scenes featuring Sai Pallavi and Nandita Das have been canned in the earlier schedules. The combination scenes of Rana, Sai Pallavi, and Nandita Das are yet to be canned. Rana is portraying a Naxal character in the movie which is going to be an extraordinary one with solid content, while Nandita Das will be seen as a human rights activist."

The source further said, "The conflict of views between Rana’s character and Sai Pallavi’s character and between Nandita Das’ character and Rana’s form the core theme of the movie. Despite having the chances of getting differing opinions on the film’s content from different sectors, director Venu Udugula is determined to narrate the story with an utmost realistic approach."

The source concluded by saying, "The team is planning a major schedule that will continue in the entire December and it might also go on till mid-January if needed. The makers are planning to release the movie in summer."
