Baahubali-fame Rana Daggubati rules out foray into politics
Coimbatore, Mar 5: Baahubali-fame Rana Daggubati has ruled out a foray into politics, as other actors have done, but said he wants to continue doing films.
"It is personal for actors to enter politics, like Rajinikanth and Kamal Hassan. I like politics as it has a good drama and I want to do films on such dramas," he said, ruling out his entry into this field.
On doing films in Tamil, he said the situation has changed now and there was no language barrier for a film. Any movie with a universal subject has wide acceptance across the entire country, he said.
A Tamil director, with a Telugu hero doing a Hindi film was well-received, Rana said.
Rana, who was here to participate in Maha Shivarathri celebrations organised by Isha Foundation Monday night, launched a global brand of wrist watches earlier.

Brothers awaiting board exam results drown in canal
Erode (Tamil Nadu) (PTI): Minor brothers who were awaiting their board exam results have drowned in a canal in this district while spending their Summer holidays at their aunt's place, police said.
According to Arachalure Police, Santhosh, aged 17, and his younger brother Sanjai, aged 15, natives of Musiri village in Tiruchirapalli district, came to Gopaliparai hamlet near Arachalure to their Aunt's house a couple of days ago after writing their annual 12th and 10th examinations, respectively.
The police said on Friday that both boys went to the nearby Lower Bhavani Project canal to take a bath. It was alleged that while taking a bath, both boys went to a deeper area of the canal and went missing.
As they didn't return home, even two hours after they left, their aunt grew suspicious and informed the Fire and Rescue Services, Chennimalai. A rescue team from the department rushed to the spot. After a few minutes of searching, they located the dead bodies of the brothers and sent them to the hospital. Arachalure police registered a case of death due to drowning and are investigating.
