Rana Daggubati to REPLACE Ranveer Singh in Prasanth Varma’s ‘Brahma Rakshasa’?

Prasanth Varma’s much-awaited project, tentatively titled Brahma Rakshasa, has seen a major shift in its casting. Initially slated to star Bollywood heartthrob Ranveer Singh in the lead role, the film will now feature Rana Daggubati as the protagonist. This surprise development comes after Ranveer Singh’s unexpected walkout from the project, creating ripples among fans and industry insiders alike.

According to reports from 123Telugu, the Baahubali star, Rana Daggubati, was approached by Prasanth Varma, and the actor quickly agreed to step into the lead role. This move has generated significant excitement, as Rana has not headlined a major project since his last solo lead in Virata Parvam (2022). Despite being active in the industry with supporting roles in films like Spy and Vettaiyan, as well as hosting a talk show for Amazon Prime, Rana has not taken on a solo lead role in recent years, making this announcement a highly anticipated one.

Rana’s other projects, including Rakshasa Raju directed by Teja and his dream project Hiranyakashipu directed by Gunasekhar, have faced setbacks. Both films were shelved, leaving fans wondering about Rana's next big solo venture. With Brahma Rakshasa, however, he is poised to return to a central role that could mark the beginning of a new chapter in his career.

Meanwhile, Prasanth Varma is currently wrapping up his film Jai Hanuman and has also committed to directing a project with Balakrishna’s son, Mokshagna. Once these projects are completed, production on Brahma Rakshasa with Rana Daggubati will commence, further adding to the anticipation.

On the other hand, Ranveer Singh is gearing up for his next big role in Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar. The film, inspired by true events, will see the actor portraying an R&AW agent in a gripping story centered around India’s intelligence agency. While Ranveer’s exit from Brahma Rakshasa has disappointed many, his upcoming projects are sure to keep fans excited.

As for Brahma Rakshasa, all eyes are now on Rana Daggubati, with fans eagerly awaiting his comeback in a lead role.
