Actor Rana Daggubati is gearing up for the release of his much-anticipated web series, ‘Rana Naidu Season 2’. During a recent interview, he shared the challenges faced by him during the shooting of an action sequence in any movie.
Baahubali actor revealed that his eye has become a joke, as he lost vision on one side completely after the corneal transplant. Rana Daggubati has been vocal about his struggle with partial blindness in the right eye, which led to a corneal transplant. He has also mentioned in one of his earlier interviews that his left eye was transplanted and donated posthumously by a donor.
Rana Daggubati told Bollywood Bubble, “The eye now, over the years, has become a comedy because I can’t see from one side. And in action, it gets really funny. If I don’t have my lenses on and there’s too much dust, it gets a bit messy. I tell people I’m almost like the Terminator. I have an eye, I have a kidney, I have a bunch of things transplant. You’ve seen the Terminator? I’m almost there, guys.”
Sharing about his struggles during an action scene from his upcoming web series, Rana Naidu Season 2, the South star mentioned, “One part of the take, Arjun kept looking at me and asking me if I’m crying. I was like no dude, it’s just water, it’s not the problem with the eye. He’s like, are you crying? I’m like, no dude. But yeah, that happens.”
In 2016, during the show ‘Memu Saitham’, Rana revealed that his transplant was done at a young age and that he can’t see from one eye. “Should I tell you one thing, I am blind in my right eye. I see only from my left eye. The one you see is someone else’s eye, which was donated to me after his death. If I close my left eye, I can see no one. LV Prasad (Eye Institute) operated on me when I was young,” he said.
The Tollywood star is back with a banger series, Rana Naidu Season 2, which released on Netflix today, June 13, 2025. The show is packed with high-octane action scenes with a magnificent star cast featuring Rana Daggubati, Venkatesh, Arjun Rampal, Dino Morea, Sushant Singh, Abhishek Banerjee, Surveen Chawla, Kirti Kharbanda and others.
