Rana Naidu season 2: With the much-awaited second season of Rana Naidu on the horizon, it¡¯s worth revisiting the controversy that followed the show¡¯s debut especially the surprising backlash aimed at lead actors Rana Daggubati and Venkatesh Daggubati. The duo's bold roles, marked by strong language and explicit content, left many longtime fans shocked and disappointed. Here's a closer look at what sparked the outrage.
If you¡¯ve seen Rana Naidu season 1, you¡¯ll know the series didn¡¯t hold back when it came to bold storytelling, intense drama, and a generous dose of explicit content and strong language. While some viewers appreciated its gritty and unfiltered portrayal of complex relationships, a significant portion of the audience particularly fans of Rana and Venkatesh Daggubati were left unsettled. Known for their warm real-life bond and clean public images, the uncle-nephew duo took on dark, intense roles as a troubled father and son entangled in a world of crime and emotional conflict.
The show¡¯s explicit dialogue and mature scenes drew criticism from viewers who found it difficult to reconcile these characters with the actors they admire. Many felt the harsh language and the dysfunctional dynamic between the two lead characters were not only uncomfortable to watch but also inappropriate given their real-life relationship. This discomfort led to widespread backlash online, with some even calling for a boycott of the series, accusing it of crossing a line.
Rana and Venkatesh Daggubati, the real-life uncle-nephew pair, return as the feuding father and son in Rana Naidu, while Arjun Rampal enters the fray, adding more intensity to the storyline. That cast also includes Surveen Chawla, Kriti Kharbanda, Sushant Singh, Abhishek Banerjee, and Dino Morea.
Rana Naidu season 2 will be released on 13th June 2025.
