Rana Daggubati's on how he landed up with Housefull 4: After Nana Patekar dropped from Housefull 4, Rana Daggubati grabbed the opportunity of doing a comedy movie. The actor recently gave an interview in which he said he had no issues with being a part of the multi-starrer movie. Rana Daggubati has done many diverse roles in his nine-year-long career, but he has never really tried his hand at the comedy genre. Speaking on entering the genre, Rana Daggubati in an interview with a news daily said, "Forget a comedy ensemble film; I have never even done a comedy movie. Nobody asks [approaches] me to be a part of such films; I don't know what image they [makers] have of me."

For me, it's fun to work with actors such as Akshay Kumar. I also worked with Balakrishna (NTR Mahanayakudu) in my last film." Rana also shared his views on the Housefull 4 movie details and how he took up the script. "So when I got a call for the film (Housefull 4), and Sajid (Nadiadwala) and Farhad (Samji) came down to Hyderabad to narrate the story, I was very interested. The story was so funny that I wanted to be a part of it," the actor said. Also Read | Baba's And Ghosts, What does Akshay Kumar's Housefull 4 has in store?
