Here's everything to know about Rana Naidu.
What is the story of 'Rana Naidu' all about?
An adaptation of the American series Ray Donovan, Rana Naidu will have Venkatesh and Rana playing a father-son duo who are reportedly undercover criminals in Mumbai.

The official synopsis read, "This taut drama unfolds when his [Rana's] father...is unexpectedly released from prison, setting off a chain of events that shakes the Naidu family."

"Rana, a celebrity fixer, and Naga (Venkatesh), his estranged father, come together onscreen for the first time and pack each episode with both chemistry and kinetic energy that will have you on the edge of your seats throughout (sic)," they added.
