Each episode of Prime Video’s The Rana Daggubati Show draws in fans with exclusive glimpses into the lives of top stars of Indian cinema. Known for its mix of honest conversations, fun banter, and behind-the-scenes stories, this week’s episode is no exception. Host Rana Daggubati is joined by the charming Dulquer Salmaan and talented Meenakshi Chaudhary for a candid chat filled with laughs, touching moments, and interesting insights.
In a candid chat, Dulquer recalled his first meeting with Rana, saying, When I was in ninth standard, you must’ve been in eighth.” Rana, with his usual humour, responded. “No, I would’ve failed two years. I must have been in sixth or something!” Dulquer also fondly recalled Rana’s visit to his Kochi home during the shoot of Virata Parvam. He shared, “That was the first time he came over and met my mom. She loved him! Rana ate a lot, and she has a thing for kids who enjoy eating. It was an instant connection.”
The conversation then shifted to their career choices, with Dulquer praising Rana’s debut in Leader as “a brave and unique choice for a first film.” He said, “I’ve always admired how Rana doesn’t chase stardom but instead seeks out compelling stories and memorable characters.” In return, Rana praised Dulquer’s versatility and ability to choose unique roles, especially in Telugu cinema, saying, “From the moment Dulq started his career, I knew he’d do something special. His approach to storytelling and the characters he’s brought to life have left an indelible mark in Telugu Cinema.”
The duo also opened up about Kaantha, a project close to their hearts. Shedding light on the challenges they faced during its making, Dulquer revealed, “This film has been in the making for years. We’ve had countless discussions, disagreements, and even fights, which was unusual for us. But no matter what, we’d always hug it out and keep moving forward.” Rana added, “Producing and acting in Kaantha together has been an incredible journey. It’s unlike anything either of us has done before. The process brought us even closer, and the film is a testament to our friendship and shared love for cinema.”
