Rana Daggubati Backs Unconventional Films Over Box Office Formulas

Rana Daggubati works in films as an actor and producer.

He says movies cannot be judged by a simple business formula.

Some films that seem likely to succeed may fail, while unusual films can be remembered for many years.

He now chooses projects because he finds their stories and filmmakers interesting.

One of his new projects is Last Man in the Tower, based on a novel by Aravind Adiga.

The story is about people in a city trying to protect their homes while the area changes around them.

Rana believes many good films are being made in India.

He says the bigger problem is helping those films reach audiences through cinemas and distribution.

He hopes better access will help audiences discover more kinds of movies.
