Who does not remember the villain Ballaladeva from the movie ‘Bahubali’. Rana Daggubati, who played the role, had taken a huge risk for that role. Rana Daggubati had prepared a stronger body than Prabhas for the movie ‘Baahubali’. After ‘Baahubali’ many mass film offers came to Rana Daggubati. But Rana did not act in any movie, instead he returned the advance money taken. Now he has revealed why.

Rana Daggubati faced a serious health problem after the movie ‘Baahubali’. He spoke about this in actress Reha Chakraborty’s podcast. He suffered from kidney problems and heart ailments. Rana Daggubati, who had gone to America for surgery, was completely left behind after the surgery. As he himself said, he left half of what he was.

After ‘Baahubali’, Rana Daggubati accepted some movies. A movie about a boxer seems to have accepted a few more movies. But I am not an actor with that hot body and I have returned all the advances. Once when he was in America, his friend actor Varun Tej came. Seeing him, Rana Daggubati remembered his old days.

Rana felt very embarrassed when a staff at the airport called him Ballaladeva while returning from surgery and rest in America. Because they were completely gone. As Rana said in the podcast, his main goal now is to survive. Rana said that he does not get involved in any body building.

Even though Rana is still acting in movies, he is not acting in mass type roles or roles that require body building. Daggubati is more involved in film production than acting.
