Actor Abhishek Banerjee believes Adarsh Gourav would be the right fit for the role of Jaffa in the Netflix show Rana Naidu if the former did not portray the character.
“Good casting doesn't happen immediately; it always takes time. But I'd say Adarsh Gourav,” he said in an interview with IMDb.
Gourav is known for his acting in critically-acclaimed films like White Tiger, Superboys of Malegaon and Kha Gaye Hum Kahan.
At a ‘Burning Questions’ session with IMDb recently Team Rana Naidu revealed that actor Rana Daggubati often forgot his lines and took breaks during the shoot, spilling the beans on behind-the-scenes fun.
The team said creator Karan Anshuman gave the best pep talks and Abhishek Banerjee was great with improvising his dialogues during the shoot.
Kriti Kharbanda, who plays Alia Oberoi in the series, said, “I realised for the first time that this format of shooting is really hectic. I don't think anyone had the time to welcome me, but I felt very much at home from the moment I entered the set. My character Alia Oberoi is everything that I've never done before. Every part of Alia Oberoi is very new to me, but I had so much fun playing with her.”
Rana Daggubati mentioned how sharing screen space with his uncle Venkatesh Daggubati in the series brought them even closer. “I lived most of my life with him. What's fun is that this is the first time I got to shoot so much with him. We've become closer. Being around him is always fun and inspiring. He has a different take on many things in life and sees life very uniquely.”
