Rana Daggubati “sincerely apologizes” after his bold web series Rana Naidu triggers outrage

New Delhi: Rana Daggubati has extended his stardom to the Hindi entertainment industry with his OTT debut Rana Naidu on Netflix. The series which features Rana Daggubati along with his uncle Venkatesh is an Indian adaptation of America’s Ray Donovan.

Although the series received positive reviews for great casting, acting, plot line, and awesome background score, the web show failed to pass the ‘family-friendly’ test. And it is important as it stars veteran actor like Venkatesh.

For those who don’t know what has caused this outrage, the series is full of sex scenes, profanities, crass innuendo, and objectification of women.

Many fans objected to unnecessary nudity and went ahead questioning the ethics of Rana Daggubati and Venkatesh.

But since we all know, sex sells. Rana Naidu emerged as one of the top watches on its platform Netflix. Taking a moment to celebrate the success, Rana Daggubati took to Twitter and shared a screenshot of the same. He wrote, ” Thank you for so much love” and added some heart emojis.

Thank you for so much love ❤️❤️❤️ My sincere apologies to the ones who hate ?? pic.twitter.com/dUx6MpK8uE

He also addressed the outrage and extended his sincere apologies to those who hated it.

The plot of Rana Naidu

Rana Naidu is named after the character of Rana Daggubati. The premise of the 10-episode-long series is father-son in a dysfunctional family.

Rana Naidu works as a ‘fixer’ for rich socialites. He is the go-to-go person for Bollywood stars to get them out of their troubles by any means.

The pioneer of fixing messes is faced with a huge challenge when his father Naga Naidu (Venkatesh) gets out of prison after 15 years.

To Rana’s dismay, Naga makes efforts to reconcile with his estranged family. When Rana shoves his efforts to mend their relationship, the unsavory father becomes his biggest rival.

Cast

Besides the Daggubati duo, the series features Rajni Basumatary, Suchitra Pillai, Surveen Chawla, Sushant Singh, and Gaurav Chopra in key roles
