Actor Venkatesh, during the press event, shared his thought about the show and the role. Quoting him, the Times of India mentioned, “It was fantastic and really wonderful that I got to work with my nephew Rana, and he has done a wonderful job… It is not the usual kind of family drama. I am not soft with him, and we are not singing songs. This is what people will expect from us to do when we work together. But this is different, and there are some hard-hitting dialogues. It was really nice, and I am really glad that we got to do it.”
Launching the trailer, actor Venkatesh tweeted, “Rana hoga sabka baap, but uska baap toh main hi hoon #RanaNaidu, TRAILER OUT NOW only on @NetflixIndia!”
