Actress Aditi Shetty has commented on the intimate and explicit scenes included in Rana Naidu Season 2, maintaining that they have a very important narrative purpose and are part of the development of her character.
Speaking with IANS, Aditi explained that only a few such scenes are included in the current season, all of which were done with care and artistic intent.
She emphasized that every scene was done to drive the story further and gain more insight into her character's life. "In fact, Season 2 has very few edgy scenes, and even those are aesthetically shot. They were crucial for the narrative and gave meaning to the journey of the character. Nothing was unnecessary—it was all a part of the larger picture. All that we did had reason and depth," she averred.
Looking back on her decision to join the show, Aditi mentioned having worked with the directors before on Mirzapur and her liking for the first season of Rana Naidu as primary factors. "There were a lot of reasons. I had worked with the directors previously on Mirzapur, and I was already a fan of Season 1 of Rana Naidu. So, when I heard about the role, I was interested.". The character had a very interesting graph, and I was thrilled by her evolution and depth. Moreover, the scenes were great—particularly the complete face-off scene against Rana sir. That was it for me.
Aditi also confessed about how different the on-screen character was compared to real life. She plays Tasneem, a tough, bossy, and emotionally closed-off woman—a world away from Aditi's own personality. "Tasneem is quite different from me in real life," she explained. "I'm bubbly and expressive, whereas Tasneem is more quiet, almost stoic."
But she did discover at least one similar attribute between herself and the character: a common commitment to fitness. "That's certainly a commonality," Aditi commented.
The second season of Rana Naidu, which is out on Netflix since June 13, has an impressive cast including Venkatesh Daggubati, Rana Daggubati, Arjun Rampal, and Kriti Kharbanda.
