Actor Rana, who has become so lean and thin has lost all the weight for a reason, says sources.

The actor who put on huge weight to become the Bhallaladeva is losing weight with ease now and his doctors are keeping a tab on his weight. Rana has been suffering with some fluctuations in blood pressure and is taking a low sodium diet for it.

The latest news is that the actor lost weight only because he had to step into the shoes of Nara Chandra Babu Naidu for NTR, a biopic which is being directed by Krish Jagarlamudi. Rana, at a recent interview he has given, said that he has learnt mythology and history through NTR’s films and so, he wants to give his best for this film. The actor also practiced NTR’s dialogues and he said that getting an opportunity to recreate his life is a big deal for him.

Nandamuri Balakrishna is playing the lead role. The film is produced by Balakrishna, Sai Korrapati and Vishnu Induri.
