Sharing a picture from the past featuring his grandfather, Rana wrote: “You’ve left but your spirit holds us stronger and stronger every day. Miss you Tatha.”

A well-known producer with over 100 films across languages to his credit, Rama Naidu, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2014. A year later, he passed away.

On the work front, Rana is currently busy wrapping up the shoot of Haathi Mere Saathi, which features him in the role of a mahout. It’s a modern-day adaptation of yesteryear star Rajesh Khanna’s film of the same name.

Directed by popular Tamil filmmaker Prabhu Solomon, the film has been predominantly shot in Thailand where Rana extensively shot with elephants. The film, according to reliable sources, will explore the bond between elephants and human beings. Apart from Thailand, the makers also shot in Kerala and Delhi.

Last week, reports emerged that Rana might also be seen playing a cameo in Anusha Shetty and R Madhavan starrer Silence, which goes on floors from next month in the US. The film also stars Anjali in a crucial role.
