Rana Daggubati won us over and over again as the villainous Bhallaladeva in the Bahubali series. Hence, when news surfaced that the Telugu star will feature in a film titled Haathi Mere Saathi, it was a delight to the Daggubati ‘s fans. The film is reported to be directed by Prabhu Solomon and will be released in the three major languages- Hindi Telugu and Tamil. Titled, Aranya in the Telugu version of Haathi Mere Saathi and Kaadan in the Tamil version. The film also features Pulkit Samrat, Vishnu Vishal, Zoya Hussain and Kalki Koechlin in pivotal roles. However, Kalki, who will also be seen in Ranveer Singh’s Gully Boy opted out making us wonder which of the many actresses will take her place.
