Rana Daggubati and uncle Venkatesh shine in a heartwarming season finale of The Rana Daggubati Show

The season finale of The Rana Daggubati Show on Prime Video brought together some of the most renowned figures from the Telugu film industry. The star-studded episode featured Rana’s uncle and legendary actor Venkatesh Daggubati, celebrated director Anil Ravipudi, and talented actresses Aishwarya Rajesh and Meenakshi Chaudhary, all part of Venkatesh's upcoming film Sankranthiki Vasthunam. The episode also saw the return of Ramana Gogula to the music industry after 23 years, along with Venkatesh’s daughter and Rana’s cousin, Aashritha Daggubati, sharing fun stories and exciting insights. Packed with Sankranthi treats, laughter, behind-the-scenes stories, and anecdotes from the film’s set, the finale delivered a delightful experience.

Anil Ravipudi, renowned for his light-hearted and humorous filmmaking, shared some funny anecdotes about Venkatesh's on-set habits, joking, "Venky Sir hesitates only at food." Rana, known for his wit, added, "I noticed he never gets angry, but he gets 'Hangry'." Reflecting on a Mumbai shoot with his uncle, Rana recalled how he diffused a tense situation when an extended shoot delayed lunch. As the usually calm Venkatesh was on the verge of frustration, Rana quickly stepped in and called for a timely lunch break to ease the moment.

The conversation then shifted to Sankranthiki Vasthunam, with Venkatesh recounting with a smile, “I was slapped by Aishwarya Rajesh’s character multiple times.” Aishwarya, known for her candid sense of humour, cheekily asked, “Sir, has anybody hit you like that before?” to which Venkatesh hilariously responded, “This is my first experience.” Aishwarya further revealed, “I did slap him very tightly in the film. When I asked if that was painful, Venky sir told me to go on and slap harder, but do it in one take.” The camaraderie among the cast was evident, with hearty laughter and mutual respect shining through each anecdote.
