In an exclusive development, rumors are swirling that Rana Daggubati is being considered to portray the character of Aurangzeb alongside Shahid Kapoor, who is set to embody the legendary warrior Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in Amit Rai’s upcoming period drama. Earlier reports revealed Shahid Kapoor’s involvement in the project, which is slated to be produced by Wakaoo Films with Dil Raju, following the success of “OMG 2: Oh My God 2.”
According to insider sources, preliminary discussions have commenced with Rana Daggubati, and once the logistical aspects of the shoot are finalized, formal negotiations will ensue. “Rana is the top choice for Amit Rai for the role of Aurangzeb, pending finalization of logistics. Shahid is equally enthusiastic about the potential collaboration,” a source close to the project disclosed.
The film, while centered around Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, is not a conventional biopic but rather a thrilling narrative focusing on a significant episode from his life, likely involving a jailbreak. The script has been finalized, and pre-production activities are already underway, with plans to commence filming by the end of the year.
Known for his commanding screen presence and memorable performances, Rana Daggubati’s portrayal of Bhallaldeva in “Baahubali” has left an indelible mark on audiences. His potential inclusion in the role of Aurangzeb adds an intriguing dimension to the project, promising an exciting cinematic experience for audiences.
