Rana is neck deep into research about this wrestler. This is why…

Rana Daggubati’s love for sports is quite evident, given his enthusiastic cheering at the kabbadi matches! Did you know he even trained to become a boxer? “I’m a huge fan of Mike Tyson. I also trained in heavyweight boxing earlier but it needed a lot of time and effort and I was very injury-prone, so I gave it up. But wrestling and boxing are the two sports I love,” said Rana to an English Daily.

And the buzz is that Rana’s love for the sport might be seen on celluloid soon as he admits that he wants to play legendary wrestler Kodi Ramamurthy Naidu, known as Indian Hercules, on screen. Talking more about the role he says, “It would be a dream come true to pull that role off. I don’t know when the movie will materialise but I real ly want to do it. Aamir Khan’s Dangal is in spired by a popular wrestler and I think it is about time Tollywood too pays homage to heroes like Kodi Ramamurthy.
