Venkatesh Daggubati Opens Up About Playing Naga Naidu in Rana Naidu Season 2

Venkatesh Daggubati is back to blow the roof off as Naga Naidu in Rana Naidu Season 2 — but both Venkatesh and Naga Naidu are poles apart! While he plays the self-centered and rule-breaking Naga Naidu, the real Venkatesh is a far cry from the man who drops truth bombs and chaos like confetti in the show.

Naga Naidu might be loud, lawless, and neck-deep in family drama, but that’s exactly what makes him impossible to ignore. Underneath all the madness, there’s a surprising emotional core that hits home. The actor opens up on his character and shares, “He’s unpredictable, yes, but his love for his family runs deep — that’s something I really relate to”.

“We both love our families — but that’s where the similarity ends,” Venkatesh says. “That’s the one thing Venky and Naga share. But otherwise? I’m predictable, Naga isn’t.”

Beyond that, though, the actor draws a clear line. “I like structure and stability,” Daggubati adds. “Naga? He lives for drama. I don’t play mind games — but Naga, he’s full of surprises. You never really know what he’s thinking.”

And that edge, the constant push and pull between charm and chaos — is exactly what keeps fans hooked. “There’s always something simmering with Naga,” Venkatesh adds. “You can’t look away.”

Season 2 of Rana Naidu turns up the action and drama several notches higher, but Venky Mama is here for all of it. Whether he’s swinging punches or throwing punchlines, Naga Naidu 2.0 is ready to create full-blown dhamaka.

Mark your calendars: Rana Naidu Season 2 lands June 13, only on Netflix!
