Mumbai, May 30 Veteran star Venkatesh Daggubati, who is all set to reprise his role as the self-centered and rule-breaking Naga Naidu in “Rana Naidu Season 2,” has spoken about his character.

The actor opened up on his character and shared: “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 said.

He added: “That’s the one thing Venky and Naga share. But otherwise? I’m predictable, Naga isn’t.”

The actor draws a clear line.

“I like structure and stability. 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,” he said.

The constant push and pull between charm and chaos.

Venkatesh said: “There’s always something simmering with Naga. You can’t look away.”

Rana Naidu Season 2 is set to release on June 13 on Netflix.
