The success of Baahubali and Rudhramadevi have done wonders to the career of Rana and today he is being taken seriously by many.
Though he had acted in many films in Telugu and Hindi before Baahubali, no one used to treat him as a star.
Even heroines like Samantha who refused to pair up with him earlier now have no problems in acting with Rana and she has already done one movie with him in Tamil - remake of Bangalore Days.
Buzz is that she might also pair up with him in another movie.
Meanwhile, he is now also being invited for all the audio releases, fashion shows, city events, and business seminars as chief guest as his popularity has risen.
Rana is also enjoying this sudden focus that has been put on him.
