Now, with Rana Naidu Season 2 all set to premiere on June 13, Rana Daggubati shared that the series is 'like a dark reality of my real life'. Speaking to NDTV, Rana said, 'I haven't said this before, but this show is actually a biopic in some sense. It is like a dark reality of my real life.' He explained, 'In India, we work in entertainment, we work in the media in some form, which is a very unstructured style. We are a country that has 10-12 different industries. We speak many more languages than that. In this structure, you have to be fluid to be able to fix things constantly. There will always be trouble, you will always have to fix things that's always a parallel with the show.' According to Rana Daggubati, Rana Naidu Season 2 will revolve around the dysfunctional family trying to get functional and see if normal order can come in their life. However, the past catches up.
